This device is not supported. And even if it were, it is too old/small to support a recent and supported openwrt version.

My guess is that someone kinda got it working, likely with a bunch of compromises made. but support for the device was never formally provided and therefore you cannot install an official version.

I understood thank you, so is it not possible for me to install openvpn somehow on this device?

Correct. Even if you could use an official openwrt version, OpenVPN would not fit because the device only has 4MB flash memory.
