NetWintun NuGet Version License: MIT

NetWintun is an unofficial C# wrapper around the Wintun library.
Wintun is a minimal, high-performance TUN driver for Windows, providing userspace programs with a simple virtual network adapter for sending and receiving packets.

✨ Features

💡 Example Usage

Sending a packet

using var adapter = Adapter.Create("OfficeNet", "Wintun");
using var session = adapter.StartSession(Wintun.Constants.MaxRingCapacity);
session.SendPacket("Hello World"u8);

Receiving a packet

using var adapter = Adapter.Create("OfficeNet", "Wintun");
using var session = adapter.StartSession(Wintun.Constants.MinRingCapacity);

// Asynchronously wait for a packet
var packet = await session.ReceivePacketAsync();

// Or try to grab one immediately
if (session.TryReceivePacket(out var packet)) {
    Console.WriteLine($"Received {packet.Length} bytes");
}

Plugging into Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder.AddConsole());
Wintun.SetLogger(loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>());
