Why doesn't macOS have built-in VPN through ssh?

@fozztexx Because macOS no longer supports tun(4) devices which OpenSSH's VPN support requiresThough you can still use -D for SOCKS proxying

@jcs I've used ssh for VPNs in the past, long before there was tun support built into ssh.

@jcs I think I used to run ppp through an ssh tunnel. This was back in the very old days. Way before I ever used SOCKS. Seems like these days a bit of work on the mac side could use -D for a full VPN.
