Perhaps you need to further describe how you envision "encryption". Yes, OpenBSD can encrypt network traffic, but fundamentally you need control over both end-points. If you do, then you could look into some form or VPN or IPSec connection.

Note however, that OpenBSD does not have a monopoly over these technologies. Other operating systems offer them as well to varying degrees.
