tunemu - Tun device emulation for Darwin

tunemu allows programs that require tun devices to run on Darwin (OS X) without kernel support.

How

tunemu uses the kernel ppp driver to create a ppp device. It then reads packets from the ppp instance and writes packets to the loopback device using libpcap.

Source

• tunemu.h
• tunemu.c

Now released under the BSD license.

tunemu is part of Hans.

Supported programs

Thanks goes to Rob Lemley who has improved the patch by adding autoconf support. There is also a newer version of the patch available at his Github repository.

iPhone

Rob Lemley has built OpenVPN for the iPhone. You can get the binaries here.

A build of Hans for the iPhone/iPod touch can be downloaded here and is offered as-is, without any warranty. It needs libpcap available via Cydia. The binary is outdated.
