Need some advice on TUN_BUILDER on windows #325
-
|
ATM, I believe that the tun builder package is not designed to work on Windows. (user of unistd.h and posix:: in asio). Am I reading the code correctly ? If my assumptions are right, I was wondering about what the path forward for tun builder in windows is ? |

You are right, at the moment tunbuilder doesn't work on Windows. Regarding the path forward - it might help if you tell us what do you want to achieve. |

Firstly, thanks for promptly responding. To answer your question, I am trying to create a client that manages multiple OpenVPN connections to a bunch of servers, while not directly exposing an interface on the system. The routing and packet generation is done by an user-space process. The plan is to use a pipe-like (depending on platform) to hook up the connections to the user-space process. |

Then tun builder interface actually sounds like a good idea for that task. The dpendencies on Unix might be accidential since I don't see a good reason that we need them, so fixing/refactoring it a little bit to get rid of these dependencies is probably okay. Patches are welcome as always :) |
