Lack of TUN/TAP device support in Cloud Agent VMs for VPN connectivity
Cloud Agent VMs do not expose the TUN/TAP device, preventing the use of VPNs like OpenVPN, WireGuard, or Tailscale. This restricts the ability of agents to access internal services, databases, and APIs protected by corporate firewalls, especially for enterprise teams in finance and healthcare.

§ Evidence — 3 verified quotes
Cloud Agent VMs currently run on a custom kernel (6.1.147) inside Docker containers that do not expose the TUN/TAP device (/dev/net/tun).
Without TUN support, Cloud Agents cannot reach these services, which limits their usefulness for full-stack development and testing workflows.
would love to be able to access a webapp running on the cloud VM and let teammates access on the browser via tailscale
