No change.

An OpenVPN connection can be separately firewalled on your server. You
could allow SSH access to all connections coming in over the VPN. No need
for a second sshd, and no change to the scanning for other intruders
(except don't block port 1194 UDP, which is OpenVPN's default port,
obviously).
