Don't mix the different layers of transport, see
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP :-)
You can run IPSec, OpenVPN _through_ UPD or TCP.
L2TP (http://www.l2tpd.org/; there also is a src.rpm avalable at
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=37&size=147237&name=l2tpd-0.69-1foo.src.rpm, but I did not try to rebuild it under Fedora) is also possible _through_ UDP, although it's a little tricky.

Other, udp based transport with encryption based on openssl. Also works
with tcp but udp is far better and easier with firewalling.
