We also back several OpenVPN related drivers, such as tap-windows6 driver, ovpn-dco-win driver, ovpn-dco linux kernel module. The tap-windows6 driver is the old Windows driver, which gives a pretty basic tun/tap interface. The DCO drivers are the next generation drivers, where more of the cryptographic operations are moved into the OS kernel instead of happening inside the OpenVPN Core components; which has the potential to improve the tunnel performance.
