May I suggest that your clarification in your reply be included in the web page 
(URL: 
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos?_ga=2.190564834.834709539.1634296076-1437631519.1634296076&__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_SqElzWxjXmYdlsS3WCW.lfJQh4qDowmIRmK4X27I1dE-1634296100-0-gqNtZGzNAmWjcnBszQhR).
 Said page is awfully out of date. There is no mention of Debian Bullseye 
whatsoever. Mentions of "Wheezy" and "Jessie" should be erased.

Best regards.

Stella
