openvpn: handle ovpnproto exclusively

2026-03-03T15:23:53Z

Since proto was migrated to ovpnproto to avoid collision with netifd proto, this shall be handled separately. Also avoid using uci commands to migrate the config which requires knowing property types; use awk instead. follow-up to 2607b761549a4793eff91dcb60a287c05f631846 Signed-off-by: Paul Donald

openvpn: introduce proto handler

2026-02-22T09:54:13Z

openvpn needs a proto handler. Here it is. Removed all of the up/down scripts from the init handler and made those entirely optional (with some ucode examples). The config options have been updated to reflect v 2.6/2.7, with a 'd' flag to denote deprecated. Deprecated flags are gated behind an 'allow_deprecated' config flag, which must be on to use them. Some flags will cease to work in the next version. Users should not be using compression. Openvpn has enough security holes and pitfalls already without using compression. Updated the example configs (left in place as legacy documentation) and removed older cryptos which do not exist in ovpn any longer. A migration script is included -x. /etc/config/openvpn entries become interface entries in /etc/config/network with proto='openvpn'. The source config is retained.
