I love your analogy for ports, but I’m not sure about the VPN one.

If you imagine network traffic as mail going through the postal system, then a VPN is like a private mail tunnel between two locations, that nobody else can enter or look into. Mail sent via the tunnel is private and nobody else can read it. The person at the other end of the tunnel can either open the mail themselves (ie a VPN from your laptop to your home server to access it when you’re away), or forward the mail somewhere else (ie if you’re routing Internet-bound traffic through it) and nobody will know it came from you originally.
