Can only uninstall what you've installed.

Uninstalling packages that came with the image, won't free up any additional space.

install only this for openvpn:

opkg update
opkg install luci-app-openvpn
opkg install openvpn-openssl 
opkg install ip-full

Europe version only has 8M Flash. So suggest you do extroot to a USB stick before installing any packages.

or strip your fw using image builder, to gain more free flash space.

Actually thats the way to go, as I just saw that one doesn't have USB port to use for extroot :wink:
