Bonno already gave a quick update on using TAP for layer 2 tunnelling. I just wanted to highlight that OpenVPN uses it's own wire protocol and does not have anything to do with the L2TP protocol. That means you will have to use OpenVPN on both server and client side. But OpenVPN is available for all major OS platforms, including the mobile/tablet segment. OpenVPN can also be far more stable and reliable over unreliable links, as it often can resume a tunnel if the connection broke down. How reliable it will be, depends entirely on the configuration options being used. Things to especailly look for in the documentation is the - --keepalive option. Other than that, it's hard to give any further advice, as your question is quite vague and unspecified. But please look through our community wiki and the documentation [2] for more in-dept details, or grab a copy of the "OpenVPN 2 Cookbook" [2].
