Virtual Network Adapter from Java (TUN/TAP Java Binding) - Possible?

843790Jun 13 2006
Hello everybody,

I'd like an expert opinion on whether it is possible to write a VPN solution (similar to OpenVPN for example) in Java.

From what I know, Java does not provide any native interfaces for this. But it should be possible to write a Java binding for a TUN/TAP driver (like vtun) and go from there.

Am I on the right track? Has anyone ever brought up this topic or even tried to write something like this?

Any comments are very highly appreciated, thanks!!

Regards

Stefan T.
