    [GSoC 2023] VPN Support Project Update #5
    [09:42] schestowitz
    [09:42] schestowitz

    So great news everyone, OpenVPN and the TUN/TAP driver is working on Haiku! While this is great news for the development of the project, I need to temper it with some problems that the project has encountered now. So first thing that I had to change first was going from TUN to TAP since OpenVPN wanted a Point-to-Point connection for the TUN driver and Point-to-Point isnt quite a thing on Haiku yet. [09:42] schestowitz I had a lot of trouble with routing with TUN, so I moved onto TAP, and that seems to work sort of. The main thing is that Haiku can be a client fine but it has some trouble being a server as OpenVPN can set the server up, and have a client OpenVPN connect to it (let us say the client is running Linux), but the client cannot ping the Haiku server. When I try to ping the server, ping will just say Destination Host Unreachable. Looking [09:42] schestowitz further into it using tcpdump, I realized that the client is trying to send ARP request to try and find the server and the Haiku server isnt responding. Checking the Haiku side of things, I noticed that it wasnt receiving the ARP requests to begin with so I have a hunch it might be the VirtualBox NAT Network I am using but I am not ruling out the possibility of the TAP driver or the TAP interface.
