OpenVPN support in v6 is really limited. e.g. it does not support UDP transport, only TCP. and does not support more advanced ways of authentication and several newer OpenVPN features.
In RouterOS v7 it is a bit better. But the situation basically remains that MikroTik has written their own OpenVPN clone, they are not using the opensource version. So it is incomplete, and always is lagging behind openvpn.net developments.
Getting correct documentation for v6 may become more challenging, as MikroTik has the habit of updating the manual without always mentioning at which version a feature is available. What you find on the help system now, mostly refers to v7 only.
You can use the old WiKi manual https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Main_Page to find information for v6.
Depending on what router you are using, it may be your best recourse to first upgrade to v7.
But on older devices, and particularly on devices with small flash storage like the hAP ac2, it may be unwise to do that now.
