I thought I would give OpenVPN a try, but I’m not having much luck. It stops with a an error saying “Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically”.
Looking at various sites for this message, they all say there should be tun devices under /dev (for Linux, etc). I don’t have any. At least, none that I can find. I’m wondering if something else needs to be installed or if there’s a specific setting that should be used that I can’t figure out?
I’m using 64-bit nighty and Beta 5.
Thanks!
I think the tun driver is not yet included in the images.
Ah, that would explain it. I guess it’s not available separately, either. Unless I just can’t find it in Haiku Depot. Thanks!
Actually, it is https://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=hrev57387
However, it was renamed to tunnel.
It lives in /system/add-ons/kernel/network/devices/tunnel
Hmm. Ok. If I specify that with --dev-node, I get an “operation not allowed” error.
Is it supposed to be able to dynamically create TUN devices? Is there something else that should be specified for it work?
Try to follow the manual from this article Haiku Activity & Contract Report, November 2023 (ft. VPN support) | Haiku Project
Awesome! Thanks, that’s what I was searching for. I may be able to get it to work from there.
Thanks for linking that! I successfully made it work. 
I always wondered if it was already usable; I think when I read that post originally, the forum software didn’t display the commands in the “Terminal-box”…
Very nice! I hope it’ll soon join the other services in the Network preferences.
