What does this mean...?
So, ClubUptime tells me that I need to install something on the server to make TUN/TAP work.
As quoted.
"On CentOS, you will need to install the module. "
But when I check on the server...
Code:[root@Openvpn ~]# cat /dev/net/tun cat: /dev/net/tun: No such device
Code:[root@Openvpn ~]# modprobe tun FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab081.1/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Oh and he said TUN/TAP was enabled.

Even though someone might be able to help you here, it's best that you ask them what they meant .

I've installed OpenVPN on several OpenVZ VPSs running CentOS, and I've never heard of having to install a module for the TUN adapter.
If they have enabled the TUN adapter, you should see something like this:
Code:# cat /dev/net/tun cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state

I didn't get that. And Andrew here tells me to find a new distro...
Now I'm told that there's a problem with TUN across the node.

Nope. I understood them just fine.
Refer to this image link about the conversation.

It still looks like a misunderstanding to me. The kernel module was not loaded on that hardware as it was fully replaced about 7-10 days ago. It was bumped from an x3470 machine to a dual 5620 machine when we had a hard drive array failure.
It appears that during the migration, we simply didn't enable the TUN module as it's not something we get a lot of requests for.
I do see that it's enabled now and that it is working properly within your VPS.█ Matthew Rosenblatt, and I do lots of things.
