vTUN
A tun-style network device for OpenVMS Alpha.
| Version | X-01-02 |
|---|---|
| Status | Working |
| Platforms | OpenVMS Alpha |
| Licence | Apache License 2.0 |
| For whom | Developers who need a program on OpenVMS to be the other end of a network interface (VPN and the like). |
What it is
On Linux a program opens /dev/net/tun and becomes the other end of a network interface. vTUN gives OpenVMS the same: packets sent to the interface (BE0, for example) reach the program, and packets the program writes enter the system as if they came from the network.
Why
A base for VPNs and tunnels on OpenVMS.
