root@root:~# cat /dev/net/tun
cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state
root@root:~# modprobe tun
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:505 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab084.17/modules.builtin.bin'
FATAL: Module tun not found.
It seems that tun is available but cannot run.
Please advise.

You don't need to modprobe. You can use the module, it is already loaded on the node and enabled for you.
I thought that tun was the problem..
Actually i get these:
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
Did you tried restart tun/tap, or/and reboot VPS? If problem still exist try contact support they only help
Yes, with no luck
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
failed!
Possible problem from provider side,did you tried contact them? Whats they says?
They say that TUN module is fine and set enabled, TAP also, it should work.
Which VPN script and OS you tried to install? PPTP/L2TP might not working on OpenVZ How about iptables?
OpenVPN on Debian 7
Which OpenVPN script? Official script from openvpn.net very buggy with OpenVZ
Do you suggest any other vpn server? I use sudo apt-get install openvpn
Try this - Full auto installer - https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install
Thanks. Really helpful auto installer.
But it finishes with the same error that i get on manual installation:
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
failed!
Finished!
Your client config is available at ~/ovpn-gg.tar.gz
If you want to add more clients, you simply need to run this script another time!
@punkstar69 - Only support can help,if not,trash them
Thanks for your help
Reinstall to other OS sometimes helps
try tb_userspace
