If you can log in to that server directly (i.e. not over the OpenVPN link), then you should be safe using the "apt install" commands to force installation of the 2.4.4-2ubuntu1.7 package and then try bringing up the link to see if 2.4.4 works in that environment (with the plan to switch back to the build.openvpn.net packages if it doesn't...) Alternately, you can follow the notes in the OpenVPN community wiki page to re-enable the build.openvpn.net repository, presumably using a "...debian/openvpn/2.4 bionic main" line. (Looks like if you do that, you'll be offered openvpn 2.4.11_bionic0 as the available version to upgrade to...)

This server became due for a distribution upgrade when Covid19 had already hit. It is located in Texas and my twice per year visits there have been cancelled since Sept 2019. That is why it has not been upgraded to 20.04... Hopefully I can get there and upgrade it on location come September. I don't dare doing that remotely. >That may well be fine for your use case, but obviously it would be a >bigger change than the switch from one 2.4.7 package to a different >2.4.7 package that is under discussion on the server running Ubuntu >20.04. > >Anyway, posting the output of "apt-cache policy openvpn" on that server >here would help confirm the exact package versions your system currently >knows about...
