Is a Pine64 a good platform for this project at this time? What flavor Linux do people seem to prefer? And where does the OS reside? From the spec sheet I didn't see anything about using a flash drive or SD chip.
The premise of your question is incorrect;
... the RPi is plenty fast enough ; I've been running an openVPN server on my RPi b+ for over a year now ! The RPi2b or RPi3 are way more than adequate for the job;
The Pine64+ is overkill for an openVPN server; however, it certainly can (and is) used for the job. There are several good tutorials on-line for building the server; the one for the RPib+ is particularly interesting, and the one I followed when I setup mine.
This link is Lauren Orsini's openVPN two part tutorial for the RPib+ (also applicable to the PineA64+)
