See - http://vtun.sourceforge.net/tun/ for examples - of tun and tap drivers that have been written - for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. - * Make sure you have autoconf 2.50+ and - automake 1.6+. - * Edit configure.ac, adding platform specific - config code, and a TARGET_YOUROS define. - * Add platform-specific includes to syshead.h. - * Add an #ifdef TARGET_YOUROS to the do_ifconfig() - function in tun.c to generate a correct "ifconfig" - command for your platform. Note that OpenVPN - determines the ifconfig path at ./configure time. - * Add an ifconfig_order() variant for your OS so - openvpn knows whether to call ifconfig before - or after tun/tap dev open. - * Add an #ifdef TARGET_YOUROS block in tun.c and define - the open_tun, close_tun, read_tun, and write_tun - functions. If your tun/tap virtual device is - sufficiently generic, you may be able to use the - default case. - * Add appropriate code to route.c to handle - the route command on your platform. This - is necessary for the --route option to - work correctly. - * After you successfully build OpenVPN, run - the loopback tests as described in INSTALL. - * For the next test, confirm that the UDP socket - functionality is working independently of the - tun device, by doing something like: - ./openvpn --remote localhost --verb 9 --ping 1 --dev null - * Now try with --remote [a real host] - * Now try with a real tun/tap device, you will - need to figure out the appropriate ifconfig - command to use once openvpn has opened the tun/tap - device. - * Once you have simple tests working on the tun device, - try more complex tests such as using TLS mode. - * Stress test the link by doing ping -f across it. - * Make sure that packet fragmenting is happening - correctly by doing a ping -s 2000 or higher. - * Ensure that OpenVPN on your platform will talk - to OpenVPN on other platforms such as Linux. - Some tun/tap driver implementations will prepend - unnecessary stuff onto the datagram that must be - disabled with an explicit ioctl call if cross-platform - compatibility is to be preserved. You can see some - examples of this in tun.c. - * If your system supports pthreads, try building - with ./configure --enable-pthread and do a stress - test in TLS mode. - * Try the ultimate stress test which is --gremlin - --reneg-sec 10 in TLS mode (preferably with pthreads - enabled), then do a flood ping across the tunnel - (ping -f remote-endpoint) in both directions and let - it run overnight. --gremlin will induce massive - corruption and packet loss, but you win if you - wake up the next morning and both peers are still - running and occasionally even succeeding in their - attempted once-per-10-seconds TLS handshake. - * When it's working, submit your patch to - <openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> - and rejoice :) |
