might lead one to question the security implications. They might wonder if it compromises data integrity or exposes vulnerabilities.
The security implications are pretty clear, the VPN server version that is installed on these routers is outdated, insecure and not user serviceable and you probably shouldn't use it. If you do, that's your decision.

Seeking clarification from OpenVPN support, reviewing recent updates or patches, and implementing recommended security measures could offer solutions to address this issue and ensure a secure VPN connection.
Why do you think OpenVPN is at fault here? If you want to seek clarification from anyone, it would be the router's manufacturer who doesn't provide an updated firmware with a newer OpenVPN server. Even then, these are pretty old, consumer grade devices, I think it's reasonable to say it's out of scope of support at this point to update all the old routers with new firmware as this would take lots of resources to develop and test.
I suggest buying a device that lets you install your own router OS like openwrt - then you have full control over your router and can install or update whatever you want; or run the VPN server on another machine on your network like a server, or a raspberry pi.
