Do you mean an 'ssh tunnel' VPN or a 'proper' IPSec based VPN?

If you are using an SSH tunnel, the SSH server is listening on port 22.

Is this for connecting to your home network? If so, a linux system might be a better SSH bridgehead as it will have sshd running as standard and has iptables to stop undesirables getting in.

Edit -
For an IPSec VPN, you would need UDP 500 (and poss 4500) and TCP 50.
