Description

Hello!

The Wiki offers to install OpenVPN software from Fedora Copr:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos

Actually, adding such a repository is not recommended since it breaks the supply chain security on that system.

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF, https://openssf.org/) is doing a lot to persuade the community that the supply chain is important. That is especially true for OpenVPN software, which is critical for information security.

I would recommend adding a proper disclaimer to the Wiki chapter about Fedora Copr usage or at least add a detailed description of how to check the OpenVPN package signatures.

Thanks!
Alexander
