If a user has SSH or GUI access they can do anything they want with the box since AFAIK there is no conditional user access.

Consequently I'm not sure what's wrong with binding the OpenVPN management interface to localhost and either telneting from within a SSH session or just running a shell script through the GUI.

However in answer to your question I can't see any issue with setting up a firewall rule to block access to the port the interface is bound to. Just seems more hassle than it's worth.

If my PHP were worth more than diddly squat I'd be tempted to write something.

Would it be possible to write a firewall rule to only allow specific IP addresses inside to connect to the management interface on that specific port? I know IP's can be spoofed but it would at least lower some concern.
