Sorry for the confusion there, but TCP does not work when tunneled inside TCP. It may appear to work but its feedback mechanisms are fundamentally broken.

Use TCP sessions inside of a UDP OpenVPN tunnel.

Proxy tunnels like SSH and SOCKS are different because they do not tunnel the actual TCP packets. Proxies unwrap the TCP sessions and build new ones.
