Enable Tun/Tap on Openvz VPS servers


The Tun/Tap module should be available in all VPS by default.
You can check this by doing:

 modprobe tun
 modprobe blktap

If they are present you shouldn't get any errors.
On CentOS (and possibly others) you will need to create the necessary devices in /dev/ for it to work.

 mkdir /dev/net
 mknod /dev/net/tap c 10 200
 mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
