Your a little faster then my re-post but that plus an additional error was the issue.

I noticed I was still using the /lib/modules/2.6. So I dropped & untarred /zipped my newer linux-3.8.8-modules.gz into /lib/modules and ran:

#modprobe tun
nothing just a prompt.

ran openvpn & it complained about setting /dev/tun permissions

#sudo openvpn --mktun --dev tun --user root

nothing! holding breath

#sudo openvpn --config vpn.ovpn --auth-user-pass

lots of text &

Opened another term & did a traceroute & my provider is no longer in the response. I have tun!

Thanks everyone!

NAME
modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information SYNOPSIS
/lib/modules/modules.dep /lib/modules/modules.dep.bin DESCRIPTION
The modules.dep.bin as generated by module-init-tools depmod, lists the dependencies for every module in the directories under /lib/modules/version, where modules.dep.bin (or the human readable version modules.dep) is also located. It is used by utilities such as modprobe. The binary version will be used by default, if it was generated by a compatible version of depmod, with fallback to the generic modules.dep. These files are not intended for editing or use by any additional utilities as their format is subject to change in the future. You should use the modinfo(8) command to obtain information about modules in a future proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these files. COPYRIGHT
