Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/developing-in-a-codespace/connecting-to-a-private-network

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Referenced https://github.com/codespaces-contrib/codespaces-openvpn repository is archived:

We recommend VPN tools like [OpenVPN](https://openvpn.net/) to access resources on a private network. For more information, see [Using the OpenVPN client from {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}](https://github.com/codespaces-contrib/codespaces-openvpn).

Additional information

Combined with #32221 this means there is now no non-archived solution.

    I'll prepare a small PR for this: add a warning noting that the linked example repository is archived and no longer maintained, mirroring the existing warning for the GitHub CLI extension on the same page.
