OK, slowly but surely I'm getting through my eBox to-do list. For completeness, here's the conclusion of my question on Jabber across VPN connections.

Keeping in mind that the server is running both the Jabber and VPN services, the only way I could get Jabber port 5222 open across the VPN was to create a service and set an allow rule on "Filtering rules from internal networks to eBox." Jabber worked fine on the home LAN without the rule, but connections across the VPN were not allowed until I set the rule. I had tried several other approaches to getting it to work, but the firewall rule seems to be what's needed.

If that's not supposed to be the way it works, I'm open to further discussion ... so long as nobody expects me to be real prompt in my replies. :)

Thanks to everybody for their patience and help.
