I'm getting this error out of nowhere.

 

Unable to open /dev/net/tun, is tun module loaded?: No such file or directory

 

Trying to do Windows 10 on it.  which is weird. 

 

Now let me tell you this. I'm using Transmission VPN with PIA. That's the only changed I've done in my server ever since.

UPDATE

Isolated problem with Transmission Docker at the time @Arbadacarba reports that changing the docker to latest instead of dev fixes the problem.

Forgot to include the answer to the where I'm seeing that question:

Pops up when I try to start a VM that uses any virtual NIC.

 

OK, found some more info... When I rebooted things worked until I tried to run Transmission-VPN... Where the logs show a problem creating tun...


Starting container with revision: e7bda4030dfcc1ba5bb86fa53373e4f796f5c45b
Creating TUN device /dev/net/tun
mknod: /dev/net/tun: File exists
 

if I delete tun then Transmission starts to work but I lose the ability to start VMs.

 

Yes... I did this yesterday... probably should have mentioned that.
