Thanks! I have been running DD-WRT for a while and was displeased that their updates were unofficial builds served over HTTP, ugh. LEDE looked right up my alley and this evening I went ahead and installed it from the SSH window of my DD-WRT install. After a few hours I had the OpenVPN server in "road-warrior" mode with all firewall rules functioning and now I just finished up getting my USB drive mounted on it. It's really slick, thanks a ton for the suggestion!!
