Anyone know openvpn obfuscate technology?

@johnpoz Ok, got it. Thanks. I was thinking, for example, that SMTP needs port TCP25 open... but, as you mentioned, not on my machine as it's open on the google servers for my email. Makes sense now. You're right...I'm not running any services on my network ergo, nothing is open. So, if I do open port TCP443 for OpenVPN, is it possible for someone to hack that port if they don't have proper OpenVPN certs or user authentication, and is it possible to attack that port (and get in) using something other than OpenVPN service e.g. some kind of hacking tool? I get that anything is possible, but is it likely?Thanks

@frankzappa openvpn is pretty freaking secure.. As I mentioned if setup with current recommended settings. TLS auth and encryption
They would have to pass that first before openvpn would even start to process any data.. They would then need to be able to pass your authentication, they would need the CERT that you issued, they might also need the password you set and the cert, etc.
Now if you were running openvpn with just simple password, and no use of tls or certs in anyway - then yeah sure someone might be able to guess auth to get in..
But to get into a vpn server that is setup correctly would require pretty high level hack - and I have heard of no such possible issues. Something like that would be HUGE freaking news if there was some known exploit to openvpn..
