Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of OpenVPN 2.4.8.

What's new in this version:

New features:
- Support compiling with OpenSSL 1.1 without deprecated APIs
- handle PSS padding in cryptoapicert (necessary for TLS >= 1.2)

User visible changes:
- do not abort when hitting the combination of "--pull-filter" and "--mode server" (this got hit when starting OpenVPN servers using the windows GUI which installs a pull-filter to force ip-win32)
- increase listen() backlog queue to 32 (improve response behaviour on openvpn servers using TCP that get portscanned)
- fix and enhance documentation (INSTALL, man page, ...)

Bug fixes:
- the combination "IPv6 and proto UDP and SOCKS proxy" did not work - as a workaround, force IPv4 in this case until a full implementation for IPv6-UDP-SOCKS can be made
- fix IPv6 routes on tap interfaces on OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana
- fix building with LibreSSL
- do not set pkcs11-helper 'safe fork mode' (should fix PIN querying in systemd environments)
- repair windows builds
- repair Darwin builds (remove -no-cpp-precomp flag)
