Our configure.ac is "the truth" here.  It says:

OpenVPN 2.3 should work with OpenSSL 0.9.6+  (But, < 1.1)
OpenVPN 2.4 should work with OpenSSL 0.9.8+
OpenVPN master should work with OpenSSL 1.0.1+

Where master is of course still in flux, so we might increase the
minimum version at some point before the 2.5 release.

We still want to be compatible with those older openssl versions,
because distros with LTS such as RHEL and SLES do keep those older
versions up-to-date wrt security, and we'd like to build out-of-the-box
on those platform.
