TAP-Windows and Hyper-V Switches
Posted: Sun Feb 14, 2021 4:26 pm
Previously I used several TAP-Windows adapters that I connected with OpenVPN to different networks and I used Hyper-V external switches bound to them to attach VMs to those networks.
That worked well. Now I had to recreate some of these adapters, but I cannot select them in Hyper-V any more. They are simply not shown in the drop-down list of network adapters when creating external switches.
I know that Windows was updated since, but I am not sure that this is the source of the problem.
Is there a way to tell Hyper-V to show my TAP adapters again?
(BTW: NordVPN TAP-Adapters which seem to be a fork of TAP-Windows adapters, are sill shown in Hyper-V.)
