openvpn 2.5.0 configure script says OpenSSL version too old. But 1.1.1f is installed

Description

I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 20.04 focal.
I downloaded the tarball and ran the configure script.
At openssl it says: checking additionally if OpenSSL is available and version >= 1.0.2... configure: error: OpenSSL version too old.

After trying sudo apt install openssl i get:
openssl is already the newest version (1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.1).

What could be going wrong?
I can't find any instances of this issue being discussed online.

You probably do not have the dev package for openssl installed. Try

sudo apt install libssl-dev
