OpenWRT is a router OS, and OpenVPN (if that's what the OP wants) is already
supported:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/basic

In general it's always better to go with your distro's way of doing things,
rather than port something from another distro (unless very similar).

However the OP didn't give us enough info as to what they actually want to
*do*, so we're in the dark as to whether this is a good solution for them.
