For which protocol?
OpenVPN already supports this, create multiple connections in the client config and it'll go down the list.

<connection>
remote server-NY 443 tcp
</connection>

<connection>
remote server-LA 443 tcp
</connection>

<connection>
remote server-TX 443 tcp
</connection>


I don't have Softether client installed at the moment so not sure if Softether client can do something similar.

This is the function of clustering. It wouldn't hurt to have a load balancer such as haproxy either.
