TAP-Windows

TAP-Windows is a virtual network driver for Microsoft Windows commonly bundled with VPN applications. It creates a virtual network adapter (often listed as “TAP-Windows Adapter V9”) that allows VPN software to route or bridge your network traffic through secure, encrypted tunnels. The driver itself has no user interface and is typically installed, updated, and managed by the VPN client that requires it. Its presence on a system usually indicates that a VPN was installed at some point. Removing or disabling TAP-Windows can prevent related VPN software from working; if needed, it can be reinstalled via the VPN client’s installer. When obtained from a trusted source, TAP-Windows is a legitimate component that uses minimal resources when not in active use.
