Web servers generally listen on INADDR_ANY.  Web server implementations
that are unsafe doing so are....  unsafe and should not be used at all.

OpenVPN is not a web server.

You said "default", but you didn't say what version you are running, how
you built it, or if you are using some packaging system, and if so what
they are doing.

You didn't explain your threat model, what you trying to do, and what
you hope to achieve for security properties.

(As alawys, follow up on list, not to me directly.  It would be rude of
me to quote private mail on the list, and I don't want to provide
offlist help as that doesn't help the next person.)
