Support will be removed on both client and server side.

The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.

That's kind of weird, because the reason why I never bothered with (selfhosted) VPNs before Wireguard was because it was the first one that just worked. Granted, due to its nature, you don't get a lot of feedback when things don't work, but it's so simple in principle that there's not a lot that can go wrong. For external VPNs like this, it should just be: Load config, double-check, done.
