How to set up openvpn on Mikrotik RouterOS 5.26

I have an OpenVPN connection that works well between an Ubuntu client and a Debian server.
I want to replace the Ubuntu client with a Mikrotik router equipped with RouterOS 5.26. In order to do that I have connected to the router through SSH and realized that the shell is very different from my usual bash. So I will learn that, but, in the meantime I need help in setting up the openvpn. I have successfully imported the certificates already in the router with scp and the /certificate command. Now I have the .conf file for openvpn but I have no idea what to do with it.
Note: this connection goes through an http proxy and I'm not sure I can set that up with the web admin interface, that's why I'm doing this through ssh, because I have the conf file and know it works.

- RouterOS only support CpenVPN on TCP. (UDP transport not supported)
As far as I know, ovpn-client in RouterOS cant support HTTP proxy.
(In ROS, AFAIK, only SSTP-client can pass over http proxy.)

I know about 1, and it's ok since http proxy uses tcp and not udp. About 2, do you have any source? Anyway what I need is a way to try my conf file, then I can tell immediately if http proxy is supported or not. Thanks.

I know sstp-client has special options for http proxy. ovpn-client dont. It can be checked in cli help /interface ovpn-client add ? /interface sstp-client add ? wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/SSTP#Properties wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/OVPN#Properties It 90% enshure me in (2)

Try ask Mikrotik Support to add http proxy support to openvpn. Or generic tcp over https tunnel. But ovpn look abandoned by mikrotik.

I have control over the vpn server so I can switch from openvpn to something else if you recommend anything that can pass through an http proxy.

I don't found sstp server for linux. It strange, may be I don't make enough effort. You know one? In ROS, AFAIK, only SSTP-client can pass over http proxy.
