I would like to create/add a virtual network adapter to a client operating system at runtime (via code), preferably in C#. Something similar to that of what VirtualBox/VMware/Himachi creates when you install their software. I am guessing this will require some C/C++ shenanigans for the driver integration, but if it is doable with only C#, all the better.
I am aware of OpenVPN, their stuff is primarily in C, and I am also aware of the TUN/TAP drivers floating around, I just didn't know if these were the only solutions not requiring me creating a fully loaded network driver for Windows.

To create a virtual Ethernet adapter on the management partition, complete the following steps: In the Virtual Ethernet Adapters section, click Create Adapter. Enter the Virtual Ethernet ID and click OK to exit the Enter Virtual Ethernet ID window. Click OK to exit the Partition Properties window.
A virtual network adapter can be used with a VPN to extend a private network across the internet. Virtual network adapters are a foundational component within hypervisor environments, such as the following: VMware's vSphere and ESXi. Microsoft's Hyper-V.
Configure multiple NICs and IP addresses for a VMStep 1: Click on Create resource button and type-in network interface. Then click on Network Interface and create. Step 2: Now, fill the required details and click on create.
If you need simple funcionality then you can use Microsoft Loopback Adapter. To install it use devcon tool. Here is some info about it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272. devcon -r install %WINDIR%\Inf\Netloop.inf *MSLOOP After that you can use WMI query with C# to obtain new connection name and then netsh to configure it (ie. netsh int ip set address name="Local Area Connection 2" static 192.168.0.3 255.0.0.0)
