Do not want to install virtual network device (TAP) #1043

Closed huddhudd closed 1 year ago

huddhudd commented 2 years ago

N2n is only applicable to port data channel, and IP MAC is no longer required. Installing network cards on many systems is not successful. This will affect some software registered with Mac

Therefore, I don't want to install virtual network devices, but only use n2n port for forwarding.

I don't know whether others have the same needs as me.

The entire purpose of n2n is to create a VPN with a virtual network device, so perhaps I do not fully understand your situation. Are you able to explain in more details?

Logan007 commented 2 years ago

Maybe an additional federated supernode could do instead then?

The idea of "nodes without virtual TAP" will not become reality before 4.0 for which we plan all equal nodes, some with and some without TAP, the latter replacing the supernodes.

is there a wintun.dll version? thank you

hamishcoleman commented 2 years ago

@Smallthing wintun is a layer3 solution but n2n is a layer2 VPN, so it is not compatible as such. Can you explain your use case?
