Make sure the '''tun''' module has been already loaded on the [[hardware node]]:
If it is not there, use the following command to load '''tun''' module:
To make sure that '''tun''' module will be automatically loaded on every reboot you can also add it or into <code>/etc/modules.conf </code> (on RHEL see <code>/etc/sysconfig/modules/ </code> directory) or into /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/''CTID''.mount. (echo 'modprobe tun' >> /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/''CTID''.mount (NOTE: don't forget chmod +x + '#!/bin/sh' at the begin of mount file))
== Granting container an access to TUN/TAP ==
Allow your container to use the tun/tap device by running the following commands on the host node:
vzctl set 101 --devices c:10:200devnodes net/tun:rw --save
vzctl set 101 --capability net_admin:on --save
== Configuring VPN inside container ==
After the configuration steps above are done it is possible to use VPN software working with TUN/TAP inside
container just like on a usual standalone linux Linux box.
The following software can be used for VPN with TUN/TAP:
With a VENET interface you will only reach the VPN container.
To use a VETH device follow this [http://wiki.openvz.org/[Veth instructions]] article.
If you insist on using a VENET interface and need to reach hosts behind the OpenVPN VE then you can use source NAT. You need to mangle source packets so that they appear to orginate originate from the OpenVPN server VE.
