How I got OpenVPN working in Fatdog64

[m1k3]

I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this issue but thought I would post this just in case it helps others. I use ProtonVPN as my VPN provider and they have a cli client that uses OpenVPN to connect to their servers. That was simple to install and just requires Python 3 and pip to get the client. I then installed OpenVPN using slapt-get and thought that would be all I needed.

Unfortunately, it couldn't connect. So, after a lot of head scratching and digging through the logs I realized that the TUN module wasn't loaded. After running modprobe tun, the virtual device was activated and the cli client was able to connect to a server. Knowing this, I added tun to /etc/modules and now I have no connection issues after rebooting.
