It appears I have missed the point of the discussion. I thought the original question was:
Why hasn't NETGEAR been keeping up with this and making changes to VPN with Firmware upgrades. How can I fix this issue and get my VPN back up and running?

In this particular case, the SXK80 was declared End of Life on 2/1/2023, which might have been prior to OpenVPN changing their requirements in 2023.
