Every tunnel requires an OpenVPN process, a separate config file, a separate TCP/UDP port, and a separate TUN/TAP virtual adapter on each end of the connection. OpenVPN has various methods, based on the OS, for allowing a set of config files to be automatically started on system startup, or started on-demand using inetd or xinetd. On most OSes, the maximum number of TUN/TAP virtual adapters will be the constraining factor on the number of tunnels which are possible. Post-1.5, there are plans for allowing one OpenVPN process, possibly using only a single port and TUN/TAP adapter, to control multiple tunnels.
