I just saw Chevy's new kernal's have the option of downloading TUN with them in ROM Manager. What is this and why would I need it?


*What IS TUN...not us.
 
Seems like it's a protocol of some sort that lets you connect to VPN's and such. I'm sure someone will come along that knows more about it.

Not really savvy on this stuff personally, but I'm pretty sure that's the type of thing it's referring to.

There's a number of 'modules' I guess that you can use like TUN and ext2 and some others. I don't really know anything about it. I and a couple others had asked this about a month ago in Chevy's thread at DroidForums.net and never got a response. I'm assuming many are unfamiliar with it.
 
TUN simulates a network layer 3 device (router) so it supports routing tables, VLANs and such. If you don't require VPN access from work or something you don't need TUN :D
 
i asked about this an droidforums and chevy replied- if you dont know what it is, you dont need it. it is an option for those who do. lol
