I am trying to hook up a virtual machine to a host using openvpn.
When i create a tap interface within the virtual machine using:
/usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap1
The state of the tap interface is always "NO-CARRIER"



1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

link/ether ce:e9:4a:1d:80:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


Any ideas why this could be happening?
I have checked to see the permissions of /dev/net/tun and it seems fine:



root@ip-10-66-210-99:~# ls -l /dev/net/tun
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 2014-02-15 07:15 /dev/net/tun


On the host itself there seems to be no issues.
What am i missing?

  • Figured out the issue. The tap interface needs an application tied to it. Once I start the openvpn service, the tap interface state transitions to "RUNNING"

The issue it turns out was that the tap interface has to have an application associated with it for it to be in the "RUNNING" state.
Once i started the Openvpn service binding to tap0, the state moved to "RUNNING"
