A VPN will route anything - just like a standard router - except that the
traffic is hidden (encrypted) as it passes across the Internet. Basically,
if you imagine having a router with two interfaces, one connected to network
A and the other connected to network B, except the networks are a few
thousand miles apart, that's what a VPN does for you.
