I want port 22 to remain untouched as I believe it to be secure enough for my purposes and I'd like to use it to sync files.

I'm using protonvpn. How can I get the information that you require? Would the contents of an *.ovpn file do it?

Objective is to get both my machines on OpenVpn while still being able to sync files over ssh. SSH can take place over VPN or not. VPN is actually preferred. I use dynamic DNS. I'm assuming I'll have to script an update to that on startup or something. I'll worry about that later.

In short there's two ways to accomplish this.
Over VPN
In this case, your VPN provider has to allow incoming traffic to port 22 on your VPN link, or you have to set up SSH to use an port that allows incoming traffic. How to do this differs from provider to provider, but most do tend to use RFC1918-addressing with optional port forwarding. In case of port forwarding you typically don't get to pick the port.
Bypassing VPN
You can't create routes that involves port numbers, but that should not be necessary.
Simply make sure that you still have a valid route to reach the host you're trying to reach outside of the VPN route. This can be a /32, i.e. a route only to the host you're sshing from.
In addition, if you have set up a firewall, you must allow ssh on that interface.
Without any more detailed configuration from you, this is the answer that's possible to give. You'll have to fill in the details yourself.

In retrospect, I will need to bypass to prevent providing clues I don't want to provide through Dynamic DNS.
