Hello,
I use OpenVPN for a long time on several Linux servers and I'm able to
specify device name by dev option. For example, if I add in openvpn
configuration file :
dev tap2
dev-type tap
I'm sure that this instance of openvpn will create and use tap2 even if
ther is no tap0 nor tap1.
I have tried to use the same capability under NetBSD (7.0.2) and
OpenVPN doesn't start anymore. If I want to specify a named interface, I
have to use :
dev tap2
dev-type tap
dev-node /dev/tap
but OpenVPN doesn't use tap2. It always create a new tap device with the
little minor it can find.
In my case, it always create tap1 as tap0 is used for another VPN.
How can I force this device name ?
Best regards,
JKB
