bonzi200x wroteI have cipher BF-CBC uncommented in both server and client and wireshark is listening to tap0 but it is not showing any encryption. Am I doing something wrong here?
Depending on your setup. More detail required.
Do you mean that you have Wireshark on your server end-point TAP device?
If yes, then the data is decrypted at the end point, and data is seen as plain text.
Think about it more for a second. If the data were not decrypted at each end, then how would the data ever be used?
The data will be encrypted at all locations
between you and the endpoint, but not
at the endpoint itself.
At least thats how it is for TUN. Assuming TAP is no different.
