Personally, I simply Port-forward 1194/UDP to my NAS. To prevent Internet access to the NAS simply don't setup Port Forwarding at your Router.
I am poking my way though the manual, and the FAQs, but if someone has a quick pointer to the how-to on this sort of thing, it would save me quite a bit of time. Granted, I do realize that I will need time and firmware updates, but otherwise what I would like to turn off, for the time being, is any access to the box excepting from boxes in the 192.168.1.* range (the home network).

Hi Pwilson, will setting up OpenVPN on the NAS rather than on the router grant me access to the local network as well? Or should I set up Open VPN on the router itself? Thank you This allows me to access my NAS from anywhere, but requires me to use OpenVPN in order to do so.
