You actually have 2 openssl versions, that's base not ports, where the
latter is the one that's relevant to OpenVPN and the web interface.

Good advice as it pertains to FREAK.

But no one mentioned... the real problem here is asking about FREAK on
a version that's Heartbleed vulnerable (assuming he's talking about
2.1.0 as it appears to be). Who cares about potential crypto weakening
when you're vulnerable to complete system compromise from Heartbleed?
Upgrade to 2.2.1, or at a minimum 2.1.5 if you have one of the edge
cases (usually hardware-specific) where 2.2x isn't an option for some
reason.
