You need to set up server authentication "somehow".

*How* you do this is not built into OpenVPN, as everybody's needs are
too different.  OpenVPN provides a plugin interface, and the package
includes a plugin that can query PAM modules (auth-pam.so), and also 
a script interface (--auth-user-pass-verify $script).

Now, depending on your specific 2FA method, PAM might be a good approach
if there is a PAM module already around.  But you'll need to do some
googling and reading.
