To open wintun device, we cannot use "\\.\Global\Wintun<luid>"
path as before. To get device path which we supply to CreateFile,
we have to use SetupAPI to:

 - enumerate network adapters with "wintun" as component id
 - for each adapter save its guid
 - open device information set
 - for each item in set
   - open corresponding registry key to get net_cfg_instance_id
   - get symbolic link name of device interface by instance id
 - path will be symbolic link name of device instance matched with adapter's guid

See https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3/blob/master/openvpn/tun/win/tunutil.hpp and
https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/master/tun/wintun/wintun_windows.go for
implementation examples.

GUID_DEVCLASS_NET is declared in devguid.h, GUID_DEVINTERFACE_NET in
ndisguid.h... No need to redefine them. However, while one could include
those SDK files, one needs to add the appropriate .lib files too. It's not
worth complicating for just a couple of GUIDs that will never ever change.
So, ACK.

The rest LGTM.

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.

Since this introduces a new library requirement, I gave it a test run 
on my Ubuntu 16 / MinGW linux build system.  "Builds fine".  Have not run
the result.

I have not done anything resembling proper code review.  Just basic 
"this is only changing _WIN32 code, and doesn't seem to do bad stuff 
with pointers".

What I do not really like is the inflation of the code with 

	if (!tt->wintun)

statements now.  I think this should be refactored out into an
"open_tun_wintun()" and an "open_tun_tap_windows()" function, where
all the bits that are now inside an "if (!tt->wintun)" get their
own function with less if() and less nesting.

I agree.

I have sent a (yet another) patch (https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/918/
)
which refactors open_tun() method, which now looks like this:

    tun_open_device(tt, dev_node, &device_guid);

    if (tt->wintun)
    {
        wintun_register_ring_buffer(tt);
    }
    else
    {
        tuntap_post_open(tt, device_guid);
    }

Note that it requires 6 of 7 wintun patches to be merged.

Alternatively I can rebase wintun 4/5/6 patches on top of this one.

This also has been ACKed and merged,  but two questions that may need some

Doesn't this mean that  if --dev-node is specified, we'll open  tapwindows
adapter
with that name even if "--window-driver wintun" is specified? The open may
succeed
but subsequent wintun-specific processing will fail.

If I'm not mistaken wintun device can be opened multiple times, so we'll
never get the
"All wintun adapters on this system...." error. Instead, open will succeed
here and
something else may fail later. FILE_SHARE_READ = 0 will not save us when
the driver
does not enforce it.

--dev-node is not (yet) supported and open will fail (just re-tested).

Well, we get it if wintun driver is not installed :) but yep, open will
succeed.

Right after opening we register ring buffers, and that will fail (with a
friendly message):

ERROR:  Failed to register ring buffers: 1247

We should probably make it even more user friendly and write something like
"make sure wintun adapter is not in use".

Wireguard creates wintun adapter on demand (on connect) and openvpn during
installation and then
picks the first one found on connect. Maybe that logic could be more clever
to not to pick adapter which
is currently used by wireguard.

I haven't looked yet into running wireguard and openvpn side by side (or
multiple openvpn instances
with wintun), just tested that wg and openvpn could co-exist without
problems on the same machine.

I did a quick test and found the open to succeed with a misleading message
that Wintun device opened (though it opened the tap device) and then fails
on register ring buffers. I haven't applied all patches as yet, so not sure
whether this is changed in later patches.

Apart from the error message, there is a larger issue especially when we
use iservice. In that case, we have to preserve privilege separation and
allowing a user to open a device handle in use by another has to be
avoided. The service could keep a lock on devices it manages, but I have no
idea how we are going to lock out devices opened by other means (say
instances started by automatic service, or wireguard or some other third
party product).

Can we get the wintun folks to support exclusive open (say FILE_SHARE_READ
= 0) or expose the internal count of number of open handles? That would
also make it easier to fix this and provide better error messages.

Hmm.. if multiple openvpn instances are not tested this is not ready for
review yet, is it?

Again, a quick test shows that, with multiple openvpn instances, it does
open an already opened device and then fails while registering ring buffers.

Do you see it as a security issue when handle can be opened by another
process?

To read / write to tunnel one needs to register ring buffers, and this call
will fail for any other process. Am I missing something here?

I agree it would be nice to have.

I don't think so. I would not expect new tun driver (or code around it) to
support all features of old driver right from the beginning.

Wintun doesn't replace tap-windows6, so if someone requires functionality
which wintun doesn't yet support, one could always switch to previous
driver.

Yeah, it would be nice to eventual support multiple tunnels, but I don't
think that this is "must have" in the first version.

Hopefully, Simon can confirm whether that provides a sufficient safety net.

Hi,

 

The Wintun doesn't create its own communication I/O device. Running a separate NdisRegisterDeviceEx() device came with a big can of worms, so we decided not to run our own, but rather piggy-back on the existing NDIS one from the NdisMRegisterMiniportDriver() that we tap on. Technically, we could limit it to a single client handle, but this device is primarily used by Windows to manage the adapter, therefore we must not tweak it in this direction.

 

As Lev said: Wintun adds an IOCTL call to register ring buffers and it is this IOCTL that has a refcounting implemented to deny secondary connection attempts. Unfortunately for OpenVPN, this IOCTL is restricted to privileged processes only. You cannot use it to detect which Wintun adapters are in use by an unprivileged openvpn.exe process. WireGuard is very strict about which TUN adapter it will use – it will never ever use a lottery to pick one.

 

We have more options here:

 

A.	Wintun adapter can be explicitly chosen by configuration only (by name or GUID). With tapctl.exe utility users can make an adapter with predefined name and put this name into .ovpn. If the Wintun adapter is not specified explicitly => configuration error. Less lottery; predictable tunnel-adapter mapping when running multiple tunnels; disturbed users because there is an inconsistency between TAP-Windows6 and Wintun adapter selection logic.
B.	The tapctl.exe code is in OpenVPN repo already and could be integrated in openvpn.exe and interactive service to create Wintun adapter on demand. But, you have to take responsibility to clean what you have created. Pretty much the same as A), but nicer for user. In the long term, I'd suggest this "create adapter if doesn't exist" approach even for TAP-Windows6 adapters.
C.	Use adapter media state to see if particular Wintun adapter is already in use or not. Mind that registering buffer also sets MediaConnectStateConnected, and stays connected until its client closes handle or dies. This allows OpenVPN to extend its "use first available adapter" approach to Wintun adapters.

 

Best regards,

Simon

Hi,


> We have more options here:

Can we combine B and C?

1) During installation, we create one adapter, as we do now.

2) On connection we enumerate adapters and pick the first one which is not
connected.

3) If we could not find free adapter (another VPN connection is already
running), we create one on demand.

My main concern with creating tun adapter on demand is that it is far from
instant:

$ time ./tapctl.exe create --hwid wintun
{D9F56B7A-3054-4ADC-9457-61030F0B469D}

real    0m2,090s

I don't think we want to add it to connection time.

I know. The tap.c code needs an upgrade, not to evaluate all drivers, but just compatible drivers when creating a new adapter. This speeds things a lot. There's a flag that needs to be changed. Somewhere deep on my TODO lists.

 

I would suggest against temporary adapters on Windows. This is OK on Linux, but Windows is not Linux. Apart from the time penalty you already discovered, there are more annoying issues with temporary adapters: adapters always get a new GUID on creation, making NLA think it's a new network each time. This will keep resetting the firewall profile assigned to the adapter and piling up network IDs in user registry at each connection attempt. Also, changing bindings on adapters don't persist (vmWare, VirtualBox, Hyper-V bindings comes to my mind)…

 

I am testing an intermediate approach to adapter management on Windows, inspired by Microsoft's own way how Windows handle dial-up adapters:

1.	if adapter "My VPN Connection" doesn't exist, create it.
2.	else enable it
3.	use it
4.	disable it

 

In my observation, this is the most streamlined approach on Windows. It avoids adapter creation burden, while still (re)creates it on demand. Disabling adapter when it is not in use releases the resources, removes the adapter from the network stack, halts the adapter, unloads the driver when the last of the adapters (of the same driver) is disabled… Like adapter was deleted, only its settings persist in registry.

 

An annoyance here is, the adapters pile up over time. On multi-user computers, OpenVPN GUI don't have a complete overview which one are stale (no corresponding .ovpn file exist anymore) to clean them. Cleaning requires elevation… An admin user may use Device manager to clean them, uninstaller should clean them. Both are not ideal. On test computers with lots of configuration fuss that might be a problem. On production computers this shouldn't be a big issue. Mind that even Hyper-V doesn't clean up adapters if you install and uninstall it on Windows.

 

Maybe we could save the absolute path to .ovpn file in the adapter registry to assign it to a particular profile. Interactive service could periodically delete orphaned adapters. I'm not worried about .ovpn-less tunnels: users running openvpn.exe specifying all settings in the command line know what they're doing.

 

Best regards,

Simon

Hi,

 

(cc:ed to -devel)

 

I would vote for B and not the combination.

 

With wintun there is no backwards compatibility requirements, so we could use a cleaner, consistent and simpler approach (i.e B). Do not create any adapter during installation and dynamically create a temporary adapter at connection time.

 

My main concern with creating tun adapter on demand is that it is far from instant:

 

$ time ./tapctl.exe create --hwid wintun
{D9F56B7A-3054-4ADC-9457-61030F0B469D}

No, we don't want that.

I do realize what I wrote earlier was far from ideal. I had forgotten my
travails two years back attempting to add dynamic tap adapter creation to
OpnVPN....

As an easy way for supporting multiple tunnels, can we treat success of
open-device + ring-buffer-registration calls together as a successful open
of the adapter, and move on to the next one when that fails? That would be
very similar to what we do for tapwindows right now.

To assist users, when we fail with no free adapters, we could add a feature
to the GUI to add a new one using the RunAsAdmin shell-execute we already
have support for. Will need an improved devcon/tapinstall that does not
reset all adapters when a new one is added, except when unavoidable due to
driver version change.

Simon's suggestion of persistent adapters as required and kept disabled
when not in use sounds interesting. As some providers do supply 100's of
configs, I think we should refrain from creating one adapter per ovpn,
though. They should be using multiple --remote lines in a single config,
but, for that to work well, we need to improve --management-remote option
to provide a friendly UI for remote selection.

I like the initial approach, but the "pile-up" is annoying.

What about "do this for .ovpn configs that contain a --dev-node setting,
and otherwise just try to enumerate 'OpenVPN Wintun 1', 'OpenVPN Wintun 2',
... and create those as-needed?

This should keep the numbers down...
