Hello OpenWRT People,

I am currently using an older Netgear Router with 15.05 to provide our internal Network to an offsite office, where the Router is a VPN client to our Servers and pushes the routes to the clients connected to the router.
That is all working fine, but recently we implemented a new VPN config Serverside that seems to depend on OpenVPN 2.4.x .

The uptodate package seems to be 2.3.6 on the router.

Is there a way for me to compile current 2.4 OpenVPN in a OpenWRT compatible way?
I toyed around with the OpenWRT Build environment, but I dont understand what I need to keep in mind to perform that task.

Soon to be released LEDE has the OpenVPN 2.4.0-3 package.

The discussion might have continued from here.
