I don't know what you used, but the official OpenVPN apps are all ad free as far as I can tell.

I checked in the iOS app store and it looks like a recent update split "Private Tunnel" off into a separate app. As I recall, the old versions included advertising for this private tunnel service.
This is "OpenVPN Connect" by "OpenVPN Technologies".

... I think you downloaded a bad copy. OpenVPN has official clients. And WireGuard Development Team, eg the people who develop Wireguard, have a has both Android and iOS implementations.

I have used OpenVPN on iOS for the past year and there are 0 ads.

It would have been well over a year ago that I tried OpenVPN.
The app store listing currently shows that they removed the Private Tunnel section and made that into a separate app. The private tunnel is the advertising I was referring to.
The last time I tried OpenVPN the client seemed to primarily be a vehicle for displaying ads for a VPN service that I wasn't interested in (I wanted to VPN back to my home network, not to an endpoint in another country).
