How we can create secure multicast tunnels ith socat?

Assume that we have a list of IP address, CIDR network addresses that we want to create secure tunnel to them.

I found this:

socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:6666,range=192.168.10.0/24

but I want a secure tunnel and different adds with net addrs

I want to create script that give the IPs and net addresses and creates a secure tunnel

./myscript IP1 NetAdd1 IP2 NetAdd2 ....

How can I send these parameters to socat? Does socat multicast have any limits?
