Hmm... I must say that I haven't spent much time fiddling with it, but
when I was in Beijing last summer access to my OpenVPN server (sharing
port with an https server) worked just fine.  The only tricky part was
that I needed to tunnel the DNS requests through the VPN as well
(because apparently the local DNS would give bogus IP addresses for some
services such as duckduckgo.com, IIRC).
