What are you trying to do, specifically? Both IPs will function exactly the same. Software will bind to all of them, generally, unless you tell it to bind to a specific one.

Based on what you said with OpenVPN, I assume you are running a VDS, right? For which operating system? As the instructions would vary based on that.
