Not really.

The thing is that the tools are there but you have to use them *CORRECTLY*

The OpenVPN server and the SSH server you are trying to access should be in *different* machines. Like web servers, app servers and databases are separete:

http server
      |
	|
	|
app server
	|
	|
	|
mysql server

Same structure works for openvpn and ssh ;)
