Bug #7062
OpenVPN 2.4 treats "udp" and "tcp" as dual stack now, move old preference to udp4/tcp4
100%
Description
OpenVPN 2.4 changed the meaning of "udp" and "tcp" to be dual stack, listening on IPv6 on all interfaces at once. "local" can still nudge the behavior but to preserve the user's choice, it's safest to move the user preference to udp4/tcp4 which reflect the previous behavior.
Also it's a good time to introduce "multihome" for those who want to run dual stack which will make OpenVPN reply from the address it received the packet on.
To me, I have a patch

- "TCP" is dual stack and conflicts with "TCP4" and "TCP6"
- "UDP4" and "UDP6" do not conflict unless interface is set to "any"
- "TCP4" and "TCP6" do not conflict unless interface is set to "any"

This apparently still needs one more change. The IPv6 only modes need:
bind ipv6only

OpenVPN's man page and docs say it should work but it tosses an error on the bind directive.
It appears to do the correct thing anyhow without it, only binding to what was chosen since it's declared explicitly.
Update OpenVPN protocol preferences to match the new behavior of OpenVPN 2.4. Fixes #7062
