How to Enable TUN/TAP on Linux VPS

TUN/TAP is enabled by default on every SkySilk VPS!

Once enabled, please see below for information on activating TUN/TAP and enabling specific devices.

Activating the TUN device

When using a VPN, a special network device is used by the system to add a tunnel (TUN) to your virtual network stack.

We have enabled this device by default on all of our VPS offerings, however, you will need to activate it from within your virtual machine by running the following commands as root:

cd /dev
mkdir net
mknod net/tun c 10 200
chmod 0666 net/tun
