virtual network interface for windows

I'm developing sort of VPN application and need virtual network interface (aka TUN/TAP). Is there any such driver available for windows ?

The only one I know of is OpenVPN, but it is GPLed and thus AFAIK can't be used in closed-source app.

If there's no ready solution, I'd appreciate some estimation on how complicated is it to code such beast myself (and possibly some direction on where to start).

I found this similar question, but it dated back 2008.

Try AnyTun. http://www.anytun.org/

It looks like a solid tunnel driver available both on Linux and Windows, and claims to be freely redistributable.

If you do not find it to work, or something like it, I would agree with your first commenter - get a quick session with a lawyer to review the legal contract for the one you found... or even better, just call their sales department - they may say yes without legal worries.

Building the beast, as you say, is likely to be a pain. I've not done it, so I can't give a solid estimate, but it seems wise to avoid.

Found this one: wodVPN - claims to come with a virtual network adapter.
