TUN Module Loaded but OpenVPN /dev/net/tun no such file or directory lsmod -> tun 16587 0 - Live 0xbf0e1000 Openvpn error: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun no such file or directory I tried creating a dummy directory but the error changes to Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: Is a directory. edit: System: ARM Linux 3.10.0 ![enter image description here](

/dev/net/tun is `character device` not file nor directory. Check it with `ls` command:


ls -lad /dev/net/tun


It shall look like (notice first `c`):


crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 Feb 10 21:38 /dev/net/tun


To fix unload `tun` module:


rmmod tun


remove /dev/net/tun directory if it exist (directory is marked with `d` instead of `c`):


rmdir /dev/net/tun


Reload `tun` module:


modprobe tun


It shall create `character device` /dev/net/tun.
