Hello!

 

If you install the deb package, Eddie will run the OpenVPN and stunnel version installed in the system. You should upgrade them, as in Ubuntu 16 the OpenVPN version that's available in Ubuntu repositories is 2.3.10.

 

If you run the portable version, Eddie comes packaged with OpenVPN 2.4.6 and anyway you can set (in "Preferences" > "Advanced") the path and name of the OpenVPN binary you prefer.

 

Kind regards
