It is not recommended to upgrade packages one by one unless it solves any particular problem.
Installing packages is okay, of course. Upgrading packages, as stated by @brada4, is not recommended. Only upgrade packages if there is a specific reason to do so. But it looks like you were just looking to install packages.
iam a new user. Just upgraded to openwrt. Want to install the first packages( i need openvpn & wireguard).
Connected by lan on modem and wan on router. (because of the probable internet connection problem caused this decided to) download packages and upload and install them. after multiple tries, some appeared in installed section
but not the "openvpn-openssl_2.4.5-4.2_mipsel_24kc.ipk".
it shows this message:
The Link that used to download "mipsel_24kc" architecture packages
Thank you for response.
there is what you want:

my modem and router default IPs are equally same. i didn't change them.
When you right click on putty it pastes back whole selection, try to make it in order editing your post.
You are installing ancient openvpn which depends on old openssl. Just type name in filter box above package list and get current version.
It's my problem that the list hardly updates and don't install anything.
You need to get errors from command line.
opkg update
opkg install ....
OK,

Do you get ip6 from provider?
I saw that post
I Don't get ip6 from provider and disabled my IPV6 but same happens. don't know how to disable it on modem if its on Tho. should mention that my openwrt internet speed seems slow and fluctuate or maybe disconnects for fractions of time!
You need >50% packet loss to have connections choking and breaking.
What do you get here: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat (link please not picture)
You can select packages in firmware-selector (expand small arrow to customize packages)
I cant access the "waveform.com" because of my region is restricted from accessing it.BUT tried with vpn software :
Result with vpn software
also,
I disabled IPv6 by disabling Wan6 interface, can i ask if thats the right way? and that cause my internet disconnecting. because of that now is enabled.
Use that VPN to download packages or to compose image with packages preinstalled.
I said in the above post that i tried to upload packages
This one
But maybe the download link i used is wrong.
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/packages-18.06/mipsel_24kc/
Yes, that is wrong. You need to download from the packages folder for the same version of OpenWrt that you are using. 23.05 will not run 18.06 packages.
Yes, your download link is for ancient OpenWRT.
Better use your vpn to make a composite image of packages you need:
