I am not sure what it's called, tunnel maybe? It is feasible. These days wireguard is maybe the "cooler" option. Over at Personal Telco land, we are still using OpenVPN because it can handle broadcast or multicast traffic or something, which wireguard can't, and we need it for the dynamic routing protocol (OLSR) we use. But, I could probably give you an OpenWrt config that would work (not from memory, but looking at previous examples).
