Sorry if I am spamming the list, but I have a deadline with emphasis on
the dead.
Ok, so I tried this
mkdir -p /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
But was now greeted with
Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 OPTIONS IMPORT: route options modified
Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun:
Permission denied (errno=13)
Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Note: Attempting fallback to kernel 2.2 TUN/TAP
interface
Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Exiting
So I tried (out of desperation) mknod -m 777 /dev/net/tun c 10 200 But
was greeted with the same error

Subject: Virtual Dedicated Server has not /dev/net - Problem with
OpenVPNdev/net/tun
If some one could please help me set up OpenVPN on a virtual dedicated
server I would be most appreciative.
Set up:
I am trying to set up a vpn using OpenVPN between a couple of virtual
boxes, thus making it really easy for me to set up some "hidden"
services and link all of my systems together in a secure and encrypted
fashion. I can not really do this using SSH Tunnels as the tunnels
collapse regularly and I would need something that will keep them alive
and reconstruct them on the fly for the applications behind them. Hence
the VPN. However when I start OpenVPN with a simple client conf I get
the following

Environment & Problem:
I am using a mix of GoDaddy dedicated servers and virtual dedicated
servers. The dedicated ones have no problem, but the virtual dedicated
one toss a Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or
directory (errno=2) error.
Further information.
I have /usr/include/linux/if_tun.h but can not mknod /dev/net/tun c 10
200 because /dev/net does not exist.
Comand output:
[root]# mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
mknod: `/dev/net/tun': No such file or directory
