Hello, I see on my network connection page that on Ethernet 2 i have Windows tap adapter V9, I have done a little research and found that you get it when u DownLoad a VPN. I have NordVPN and when i turn on and connect to NordVPN it shows that my Ethernet #2 is connected to the internet. Could someone explain how a software program shows up as a Ethernet port and what its purpose is? I never have problems with the window tap V9 adapter but just want basic info on it thanks.
