I have an OpenVZ server but can't seem to get the tun/tap module to load.

I ran modprode tun on the hostnode but when I go under the VM I get:

Tue Sep 24 03:08:36 2013 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)
Tue Sep 24 03:08:36 2013 /sbin/ip link set dev  up mtu 1500

Kernel:

2.6.32-042stab079.4 #1 SMP Thu Jul 18 18:57:29 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • Do you have /dev/net/tun on the "host" system? You can also try to create that special file with mknod - it is a character device, maj 10, min 200.

  • Yep. It is there. I tried to create it but it was there.

Did you try following

Meanwhile I'd close this question, cause it clearly shows lack of efforts to resolve the problem before asking question.
