While VTUN does support multiple connections, it is limited with regard to
the platforms it supports.  Directly from their site's FAQ:

|1.6 Can I establish VTun tunnel with Windows machine ? 
| Unfortunately there is no VTun client for Windows yet.
| We a looking for a guru who will port VTun to Windows.
|
|1.7 Can I establish VTun tunnel with Cisco ? 
| No. VTun doesn't support tunneling with Cisco.
|
|1.8 Does VTun support PPTP, L2TP, IPsec ? 
| VTun uses it's own simple and efficient protocol with TCP or UDP.
| It doesn't support PPTP, L2TP, IPsec.
|
|1.9 What platforms are supported by VTun ? 
| VTun was developed on Linux and then ported to several other OS:
|    Linux (any glibc based distribution)
|    Solaris
|    FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and other BSD clones.

Thus, if windows client connectivity is needed, this is not really an ideal
solution.
