There's nothing unclear about:
The tun driver provides a network interface pseudo-device. Packets sent
to this interface can be read by a userland process and processed as de-
sired. Packets written by the userland process are injected back into
the kernel networking subsystem.
It's concise, but that's the man page style... the faq would probably
be the place for lengthier discussion if it's needed.
Maybe there's a place for tun(4) to refer to ppp(8), but then you'd
have to mention ssh(1), sshd(8), and who knows what else...
