Referenced https://github.com/codespaces-contrib/codespaces-openvpn repository is archived:

Line 35 in 2320b38

We recommend VPN tools like [OpenVPN](https://openvpn.net/) to access resources on a private network. For more information, see [Using the OpenVPN client from {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}](https://github.com/codespaces-contrib/codespaces-openvpn).

Additional information

Combined with #32221 this means there is now no non-archived solution.

   I'll prepare a small PR for this: add a warning noting that the linked example repository is archived and no longer maintained, mirroring the existing warning for the GitHub CLI extension on the same page.
