Thanks for sharing the workaround.
The packages links are too old to work now.
You can download the latest packages here:
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libjsoncpp25
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libtinyxml2-9
I did not need libssl1.1.

You can install way easier now just by doing this:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl

mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -sSfL https://packages.openvpn.net/packages-repo.gpg >/etc/apt/keyrings/openvpn.asc

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/openvpn.asc] https://packages.openvpn.net/openvpn3/debian testing main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn3.list
# Kali rolling is based on debian testing so you can just add that repo

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openvpn3-client #this will also install the other packages
