Well it sure was easier to get this thing working on here than it was to get it working on clarkconnect:
1. Download & Install vtun
$ wget http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/non-US/pool/non-US/main/v/vtun/vtun_2.6-3_i386.deb $ sudo dpkg --install vtun_2.6-3_i386.deb
This will install all dependencies automatically.
More mirrors are at: http://packages.debian.org/testing/non-US/vtun
2. Load the tun module
$ sudo modprobe tun
3. Add tun to /etc/modules so it will be loaded automatically
$ sudo echo tun >> /etc/modules
Done!
