On my WHS, I tried to enable Routing and Remote Access so that I could set up NAT for an OpenVPN server to forward my internet traffic when I am on an untrusted network. I got the OpenVPN to work, but as soon as I click on the "Settings" button in the WHS console, it crashes with Event ID 5000 (see below), even when I am access it locally from the server itself. As soon as I disabled Routing and Remote Access, the crashing went away.
I know that I am asking WHS to do more that it was designed for, but it really would be convenient to have a way to use the internet securely from hotels or unsecured wireless access points.
Is this a known conflict?
Here is the event log info:

And this I believe is the corresponding exception from the WHS log file:
