Windows 10 ssh Doesn't support TUN tunneling. (No. 3. in this issue: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/1647)

We add a TAP-Windows adapter:

{A2A21221-9F22-46B1-A430-FE9F4CD6D1B5}

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin>tapctl list
{236FF470-24C2-4B57-B09C-EDECCAF70A7B}  OpenVPN Wintun
{F4FFDCC0-6FD0-40DC-A32B-6A783217AE3F}  OpenVPN TAP-Windows6
{A2A21221-9F22-46B1-A430-FE9F4CD6D1B5}  tap102

C:\Users\User name>ssh -w 102:102 username@hostname
