   I suppose you can use OpenVPN for that, which encapsulates all IP
traffic into UDP datagrams. But still, your TCP implementation will
time out as if there wasn't any tunnelling involved.

If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
