Subject: [Openvpn-users] openVPN can't find /dev/net/tun
Hi all
Here’s one I can’t figure out. I’m new to OpenVPN so please bear with
me…I’m really hoping this is easy and obvious. When I run
openvpn --mktun --dev tap0
I get
Thu Apr 15 13:32:18 2004 0[0]: Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP
dev /dev/net/tun: No such device (errno=19)
Thu Apr 15 13:32:18 2004 1[0]: Note: Attempting fallback to kernel 2.2
TUN/TAP interface
Thu Apr 15 13:32:18 2004 2[0]: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/tap0: No
such file or directory (errno=2)
Thu Apr 15 13:32:18 2004 3[0]: Exiting
Even though it clearly does exist:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 200 Apr 13 13:59 tun
Has anyone seen this before? Here is some info on the system and
config files I’ve modified so far.
Debian “testing” acting as gateway. Eth0 is internal, eth1 is
external.
Here is /etc/network/interfaces for br0:
# New Style: bridged for VPN on br0
auto br0

echo -n ".";

echo "";
