Windows support

[omar391]

Any plan or timeline to support windows platform?

[meh]

Nope, I haven't really used Windows since Windows XP.

Pull requests welcome tho 🐼

That would be such a great addition, I think most users can't implement this crate yet because of Windows non supported

Maybe we could support it by wintun.

Here is a proposal about supporting Windows with wintun. cc @iamwwc if you are interested.

Wintun is a good Tun driver on Windows designed for working in WireGuard.

1. Add a new unix module that wraps all android, ios, linux, macos, posix, and then make a new windows module in the platform.
2. Configuration on Windows will have optional fields wintun_library_path, wintun_pool
3. Create a Device that contains Adapter and Session
4. For AsyncDevice, starts 2 async tasks with spawn_blocking and then all reads and writes will send and recv from channels to those tasks.

Some problems for discussion:

1. Should we keep the wintun as a singleton?
2. How to support multiple interfaces (adapters) within the same "pool"?
3. Should we support multiple "session"?

Bumping this since I think it could be really useful, I'm working on https://github.com/amyipdev/acc, after I found out pcap wouldn't work and I needed TUN, wintun support would be great.

take a look at https://github.com/afula/tun2ostrich/tree/master/win_tun

[amyipdev]

@mokhtarabadi i was gonna use that, but tun2ostrich has now been removed from github...

Any updates?

I could really use Windows support in my project Quincy.

I would love to help with anything I can to get this done in the next couple of weeks.

This can be closed now, as Windows support has been added, correct?

Seconding @M0dEx's request to close
