Question: Why do some people add the /dev/net/tun device?

[simphide]

Hi,

this is just a quick question since I have'nt found an answer yet:
Why do some people add the /dev/net/tun device to the container? Why should you need that? Can the container work without that device?

Thank you in advance!

it's not required, it's used for openvpn

So if you use NoryLynx you don't need to add the device?
