    Is OpenVPN not just SSL traffic?

    It’s not, it’s an IPSec VPN by default which runs over UDP. You can run it via TCP and it operates over the same port as HTTPS (443), but it’s not the same protocol and can be differentiated that way.

    I think that either I’m misunderstanding what you’re aiming to say, or that this is incorrect.

    OpenVPN can run over UDP or TCP, but it’s not IPSec, not even when running over UDP. IPSec is an entirely separate protocol.
