just a minor detail is that adding a line

modules="tun"

didn't work,

What worked was to uncomment the following line:

modules_2_6="tun"

 doas rc-update add modules default 

Can you please explain the differnce between the OP and your method?
After I did what I have posted above, everything works even after rebooting. What are the benefits of adding a system service?

Trying to run openvpn gave me an error:

OpenVPN - ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)

The solution for me was:

mkdir -p /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
