Re: Windows tun/tap now in a "routed" format?
[In reply to]

Joerg,
I've quickly checked OpenVPN 2.1_rc7 tap-win32's source code but I
haven't seen any changes in how the TUN mode behaves. Once I had tried
to make vpnc use the TUN mode
but it required changes in the driver and that's the reason why vpnc
was enhanced to support TAP interfaces (no changes to the win32 tap
driver were required).
Regards,
Paolo
