Hello,

Interesting idea. Are you trying this with a bridged or routed configuration?

Bridging occurs at layer 2. tun operates at layer 3.

Practically: If this will work at all, it will need to be with two vpn links that are configured for bridging, not routing. Honestly, you've give me nothing to work with, so I'm guessing as to what your issue might be.
