summary for TAP and TUN:
TAP benefits:

  • behaves like a real network adapter (except it is a virtual network adapter)
  • can transport any network protocols (IPv4, IPv6, Netalk, IPX, etc, etc)
  • Works in layer 2, meaning Ethernet frames are passed over the VPN tunnel
  • Can be used in bridges
TAP drawbacks:

  • causes much more broadcast overhead on the VPN tunnel
  • adds the overhead of Ethernet headers on all packets transported over the VPN tunnel
  • scales poorly
TUN benefits:

  • A lower traffic overhead, transports only traffic which is destined for the VPN client
  • Transports only layer 3 IP packets
TUN drawbacks:

  • Broadcast traffic is not normally transported
  • Can only transport IPv4 (OpenVPN 2.3 adds IPv6)
  • Cannot be used in bridges
