What OpenVZ providers support veth?
I want a OpenVZ VPS that can connect to an OpenVPN server as a client. From what I've read this requires the container to have a veth device, is there any providers who offer this?
I'd be looking for 128MB RAM, 5GB disk, but good network and bandwidth (500GB+). EU location preferred.

Looks like RamNode @Nick_A may provide what you need. I haven't requested that before, however one of their knowledgebase articles has this line:
PBX in a Flash CentOS 6.4 (x86) [Open a ticket for veth]

If @Nick_A can confirm he'd enable veth for me, I'll sign up with him
Bump, still looking for a provider
My guess is no providers would support veth since it would allow you to do IP spoofing, unless they want to make a separate VLAN for each VPS with veth, etc.
And i don't think OpenVPN needs a veth device. All it needs is a tun/tap device.
That's for a server. I want to run an OpenVPN client on a VPS.
Just get a KVM then. Why does it have to be OpenVZ?
Proxmox does, just get a cheap dedi, even atom, and you can either use it as such, or use proxmox and OVZ with veth. You can also use simple OVZ and enable veth in config.
Yeah, I just ended up using one of my KVMs. Not sure why I didn't think of that in the first place, guess I'm just used to OVZ

You don't need veth for an OpenVPN client.
