There is a vtun package for openwrt [0].

"OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides
a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from
the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and
allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit
any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an
application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for
users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device
in ways never envisioned."
