📄 Description

Description

This PR adds support for the latest stable OpenVPN 2.6 releases on Amazon Linux 2 by utilizing the Fedora COPR repository maintained by dsommers. This ensures Amazon Linux 2 users have access to the most current and secure version of OpenVPN.

Changes

Added installation of yum-plugin-copr package to support the COPR repository
Enabled the specific repository (dsommers/openvpn-release-2.6) for OpenVPN 2.6
Added clear comments explaining the purpose of these changes
Included a reference URL to the official OpenVPN software repository documentation

Why this matters

Amazon Linux 2 users previously did not have access to the latest OpenVPN releases through standard repositories. This change improves security and feature availability by providing access to the most current version.

Testing

Tested on Amazon Linux 2 instance
Verified successful installation of OpenVPN 2.6
Confirmed functionality with client connections

The change is minimal and focused only on the Amazon Linux 2 installation path.
