From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah already scoured their documentation for this, but no luck with any of the workarounds sadly.
Have not tried to do the latter you mentioned though? Not sure how to do that, but I will look into it asap.
I never had to create a new TUN/TAP interface before, so I'm on the same boat as you. I'm brainstorming here with you and hoping for the best
But here is how to create a new tun interface:

You'll have to manually set some parameters to make it work, I guess
