obvious things first: have you loaded the 'tun' kernel module?

on most distros these days, /dev is usually a tmpfs filesystem; 
non-persistant.  all device files are created by udev

i have this on /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules:

KERNEL=="tun",                          NAME="net/%k",MODE=0666


if everything is in place, /dev/net/tun should be created as soon as you load 
the tun module.
