How to make Tun module running at linux start

  • 772

i installed Tun using:

modprobe tun

then did:

lsmod | grep tun
tun                    83840  0

Please how to make Tun running at reboot?

This is written on Hamachi website:

...Then add tun to the list of modules by using your favorite text editor and Create /etc/modules-load.d/tun.conf 

#Load tun module at boot.
tun

But this folder foes not exist in my /etc

Is it wise to add line "modprobe tun" into /etc/rc.local ?

tun

  1. Is there a file named /etc/modules ? If yes, you can edit to add tun there

    For CentOS check this out http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-kernel-modules-persistant.html

    Execute these 2 commands will create the rc.modules with command to load the tun module at startup

    echo modprobe tun >> /etc/rc.modules
chmod +x /etc/rc.modules
