Persistent TUN driver lcoation

Post by eeinfalt » Thu Aug 25, 2011 11:22 pm

New to OpenVPN. After installing the OpenVPN v2.2 and running a successful OpenVPN session (both our server and client configs include persist-tun and dev tun), I can find the tap0901.sys on the client in the usual location for device drivers on Win7 but I've never found anything that indicates a TUN device driver. I have found all kinds of docs on how to install the tap0901 driver in an installer but nothing for a TUN driver. Is there even a separate TUN device driver? Does the tap0901.sys handle both?

TAP driver is for both: tun and tap, used in config files. It is a generic driver, found on internet.

Thanks, that confirmed what I suspected.
