Hi Gert,
Thank you so much for your answer.
So, if I want to have multiple OpenVPN server profile on one NIC, then they 
must have different port number. Am I right?

This is not really an "OpenVPN" question, but more a general TCP-IP
question.

Server processes need to be unique in regards to "local IP address, IP 
protocol (UDP or TCP), and port".

So you can run 2 OpenVPN processes both on UDP 1194, *if* you have two
different IP addresses (--local).  Or you use the same IP for both, and
put one on UDP 1194 and one on UDP 1195.

"Two NICs" only are relevant here as that's one possible way to get more
than one IP address - but you can have two IP addresses on one NIC just
fine.  That's just a question of local circumstances.
