Sometimes what is called a VPN is not a VPN by everyone's definition, so 
beware. By my definition, a (IP) VPN supports full layer 3 functionality 
(and sometimes more), as opposed to, say, some type of proxy that relays 
a limited set of protocols over a particular path with encryption. So 
you need to be more specific about your question.

Example:

I've run Asterisk over OpenVPN. In this case, no problem; it's just 
another networking layer and the only special consideration is increased 
overhead, and that same consideration applies to any application. There 
are other VPNs.
