Steam in/home streaming over vpn?

Would it be possible?
I've read several stories online, someone seems to got it working with hamachi, some others with openvpn in tap/bridge mode.
For me, it doesn't seem to work with hamachi.
As for openvpn, i tried that (server,client):

server# openvpn --dev tap --proto udp --secret /root/.openvpn/secret --port 41234 --float --ifconfig 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

client# openvpn --dev tap --proto udp --secret /home/kokonicki/.openvpn/secret --remote $SERVER_IP 41234 --ifconfig 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

..tested udp broadcast between the peers and they work, ping and normal tcp operation works too, but steam instances just fails to see each other over the vpn, while they work in a real lan.
...i admit i didn't tried to configure any bridge with openvpn. is it strictly necessary?

Somebody has an hint?
Thank you in advance!
