Description

I am working on an application in which I have made 3 virtual tunnels named utun0, utun1 and utun2. I want to customize tunnels related to my specific example by changing the tunnel names, from default names (utun0, utun1 etc) to specific ones line tunnel0, tunnel1. Is it possible to customize the tunnels name? If yes, can you please guide me?
