how uninstall tuntap driver on macos

What is it?

The TunTap project provides kernel extensions for Mac OS X that allow to create virtual network interfaces. From the operating system kernel's point of view, these interfaces behave similar to physical network adapters such as an Ethernet network interface. However, the virtual interface does not send the packets into a wire, but makes them available to programs running in the system.


I want to remove the software from my computer. How do I do that?
Unfortunately, Apple's installer packages do not provide a way to remove software. Therefore, you will need to delete the files manually. Just remove the following directories (you need to do this with Administrator privileges):
/Library/Extensions/tap.kext
/Library/Extensions/tun.kext
/Library/StartupItems/tap
/Library/StartupItems/tun
