Okay here's whats going on: SME Server is exactly what I am looking for... firewall/gateway/dns server (and all that jazz). I also found an OpenVPN solution for it (sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_30.htm). OpenVPN works great until I tell it to listin to port 443 TCP. Once I do that, connections fail to my server. I think this is due to the Server Manager running on https.
How do I turn off server manager or even better yet... tell server manager to listin to a different port. I will only be using server manager from my local network and the only traffic I want to go thru my server is the OpenVPN traffic on tcp 443.
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks

Your simplest solution is to run openvpn on another port.
But maybe you have reasons why you want openvpn on port 443. You can still have that, without making any changes to the server-manager configuration. Run openvpn on another port, and use the port forwarding panel to divert incoming port 443 traffic to that port. That will give you openvpn on port 443 on the Internet facing side, and https on port 443 on your local network.
