Step 4 - Test the Connection

First, confirm that you've been given an IP address.

root@kali:~# ifconfig      
....
tun0: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
       inet 10.10.14.2  netmask 255.255.254.0  destination 10.10.14.2
       inet6 dead:beef:2::1000  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
       inet6 fe80::ce00:662a:f97:2c8f  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
       unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  txqueuelen 100  (UNSPEC)
