Feature Highlight: Enabling PPP, TUN/TAP or FUSE on your OpenVZ based VPS

Hello!

In this week’s feature highlight, we look at how to enable PPP, TUN/TAP, or FUSE in our control panel.

It’s easy to enable the TUN/TAP, PPP, and FUSE modules from the VPS management portal.

1) Login to your VPS management portal(https://crownpanel.com/)

2) Click on Manage button.

3) Now select Setting to open the module setting

TUN/TAP Module

To enable the TUN/TAP module, click on Re-enable TUN/TAP.

To verify the module, access the server through SSH and run the following command:

cat /dev/net/tun

If the output is “File descriptor in bad state” it means that TUN/TAP is enabled. If the output is “No such device” it means TUN/TAP is not enabled.

PPP Module

To enable the PPP module, click on Re-enable PPP.

To verify the module, access the server through SSH and run the following command:

/usr/sbin/pppd

You will receive a message asking for the password or some garbage characters like ~ÿ}#À!}!}!} }4}”}&} }%%% } } }%.

FUSE Module

To enable the FUSE module, click on Re-enable FUSE.
