7 The OSX tun/tap driver seems to work a bit different. The Linux example dynamically allocates a tun interface, which does not work in OSX, at least not in the same way. I stripped the code to create a basic example of how tun can be used on OSX using a self-selected tun device, printing each packet to the console. All configurations should be set to 'Load tun driver automatically' and 'Load tap driver automatically'. These settings are found on the 'Connecting & Disconnecting' tab of the 'Advanced' settings window. What Apple announced. Apple has announced that 'future OS releases will no longer load kernel extensions that use deprecated KPIs by default'. Tunnelblick includes, and for some configurations uses, two such extensions. Why not make use of existing utun instead of install third party tun/tap driver? OpenConnect for OS X uses utun by the way. This comment has been minimized. Sign in to view.

Aug 29, 2015 This video shows you how to fix TAP Driver 9 problem in Windows 10. In computer networking, TUN and TAP are virtual network kernel interfaces. Being network devices supported entirely in software, they differ from ordinary network devices which are backed up by hardware network adapters. The Universal TUN/TAP Driver originated in 2000 as a merger of the corresponding drivers in Solaris, Linux and BSD. The driver continues to be maintained as part of the Linux and FreeBSD kernels.

The Universal TUN/TAP Driver originated in 2000 as a merger of the corresponding drivers in Solaris, Linux and BSD.[1] The driver continues to be maintained as part of the Linux[2] and FreeBSD[3][4] kernels.
Design[edit]
TUN and TAP in the network stack
Though for similar tunneling purposes, only one at a time can be used because TUN and TAP apply to different layers of the network stack. TUN, namely network TUNnel, simulates a network layer device and operates in layer 3 carrying IP packets. TAP, namely network TAP (Terminal Access Point), simulates a link layer device and operates in layer 2 carrying Ethernet frames. TUN is used with routing. TAP is used for creating a network bridge.[2]
Packets sent by an operating system via a TUN/TAP device are delivered to a user-space program which attaches itself to the device. A user-space program may also pass packets into a TUN/TAP device. In this case the TUN/TAP device delivers (or 'injects') these packets to the operating-system network stack thus emulating their reception from an external source.[2]
