Do you have the source to that package? In that case, the best thing
would probably be to recompile it against whatever libcrypto you
happen to have installed.

Unless libcrypto.so.2 is supposed to be in the 0.9.6 series, expect a
big KABOOOM... or something like that.
If you get a big KABOOOM, I'd recommend getting libcrypto.so.2 through
the proper RPM. I can't tell you what RPM has it, however.
If you can, you should check exactly which OpenSSL your VPN software
requires and see if it matches something you have, and then make the
appropriate softlinks.
It bears repeating: until OpenSSL 1.0 is out, we give NO GUARANTEE of
binary compatibility between versions. And no, we haven't reached a
stage where we can even talk about 1.0 yet... Therefore, trying to
replace one version's .so with another is bound to be a bad experience
(see "big KABOOOM" above).
