Thanks; now that I understand the patch, I support it. This is the first I've heard of 'utun' -- can you tell me how to load it? (I assume via "sudo kextload xxx", but what is xxx -- that is, where is the kext located?) On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 11:30 AM, Arne Schwabe wrote: >

The "standard" utun.ko driver is sometimes problematic (e.g. VmWare Fusion 5 and tun.ko do not work together). If it is the other way around (use tun if it is available and if not, try utun) then anybody who has loaded tun will continue to work with that tun, and anybody who hasn't loaded tun
