OpenVPN on Windows needs a TUN/TAP kernel driver to work. OpenVPN installers
include this driver, so installing it separately is not usually required.
- The driver source code is available here:
-
- https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows
+ Windows XP/2003 must use the NDIS 5 (tap-windows) driver, whereas on more
+ recent Windows versions it is recommended to use the NDIS 6 driver
