I am trying to follow the instructions here
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... twareRepos
to add the openvpn repository for stable version for my Ubuntu 20.10 (groovy).
However, as can be seen here:
http://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/stable/dists/
the repository does not have versions for groovy (there is focal which is 20.04)

Focal should be fine. Or you can build the source yourself..

Re: Openvpn stable repo does not have version for groovy
Should the repo have a symlink "groovy" pointing to focal?
In this way we could tell users to just use "lsb_release --codename --short" when adding the repo

Maybe .. but it is supported by volunteers who also have lives to lead.. so users have to do some thinking for themselves ..
