Neither, alone though.

OpenVPN uses UDP (you can set it up to use TCP, but its efficiency is not very
good.)
To achieve your goal, you'll also need http-tunnel (hopefully, if you're under
m$, it also exists.)

Procedure example for m$ RDP forwarding under HTTPS:
SVR:
accept  = 127.0.0.1:6666
connect = 3389
http-tunnel forwards 127.0.0.1:6666 to port 443
CLI:
accept  = 127.0.0.1:6666
connect = 127.0.0.1:7777
http-tunnel forwards ports 7777 to serverIP:443
