Maybe this is a stupid question, but given my perspective: tap is
like interface promiscuous mode for the purpose of binding local
connections to network media...

is the MAC address ever actually used? eg would a remote openvpn
server know the MAC of a local client tap?

I guess I thought the physical interface mac would be used;
there's no link layer protocol on localhost, right?
