+    <youpi> good news
+    <youpi> with a couple small patches, openvpn does work as joe user
+
+
+## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-08-30
+
+    <youpi> it's really cool that openvpn ended up working completely the day
+      before :)

+
+    <_d3f> Hey guys, how did you get openvpn working on the Hurd? just curious
+      as I saw it in the GHM video
+    <_d3f> no one here who has a clue how to get *vpn working on the Hurd?
+    <braunr> _d3f: youpi did it
+    <braunr> i don't know the details
+    <_d3f> okay, I will question him when I see him around, thx. Do you know if
+      it was a lot of work to get the tun device working? Because I would like
+      to use tinc on the Hurd.
+    <braunr> _d3f: a bit but not that much either
+    <_d3f> braunr: well, okay. Do you know if the source of his 'port' is
+      online, I haven't found it :/
+    <braunr> it should be soon
+

+
+    <_d3f> youpi: you are the guy who has brought openvpn to the hurd, right? I
+      would like to know how you got the tun/tap thing working as I would like
+      to use tinc on it. :)
+    <youpi> _d3f: essentially no modification of openvpn iirc
+    <youpi> just tell it to open the tun node created by pfinet
+    <youpi> and read/write it
+    <youpi> i.e. the existing generic code in place in openvpn
+    <_d3f> I will have a look at it, somekind tinc builds with the linux
+      specific device.c but I wasn't able to exchange keys. I will have a look
+      at the device handling again and try to get the pfinet tun node used.
+
+
+## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-07
+
+    <d3f> anyone here knows how /dev/net is handled on the hurd? Programs using
+      it say it's not a directory. I tried creating one and setting a netdde
+      translator for a tun device in it, but this may be wrong as it doesn't
+      work
+    <teythoon> d3f: what does /dev/net do?
+    <teythoon> ah, its tun/tap stuff...
+    <d3f> on my gnu/linux it includes a tun device
+    <teythoon> right
+    <d3f> I am still reading about the Hurd and try to understand /hurd/netdde
+      and devnode but by now I am quite sure I will need those to set a tun
+      networktranslator on /dev/net/tun?
+    <teythoon> hm, I don't think netdde or devnode will be of any help
+    <teythoon> afaiui devnode makes mach devices available in the hurdish way,
+      i.e. available for lookup in the filesystem
+    <teythoon> d3f: ping youpi if he shows up, he hacked up openvpn to work on
+      the hurd
+    <d3f> yeah I know, I talked to him as I am tring to get tinc working on the
+      Hurd (tinc builds by now). I will give him a shot about creating the
+      "tun" device
