It works to eliminate the need for logging in as root on the remote
host. However local root is still needed, but sudo can manage that.
The only mischief I could think of trying would be to rename the device,
but that is prevented:
$ mv /dev/tun1 /dev/tun6
mv: rename /dev/tun1 to /dev/tun6: Permission denied
