For the Devuan infrastructure we do "virtual cabling" bmo "udptap" which is available in experimental. It's similar to all else with, in my eyes, a couple of advantages. The source project includes an openbsd branch which looks good even if it's more or less untested. However, for a one-off virtual cabling I would use "ssh -w"; as I remember that works fine also on a mac (though I do remember there were some hurdles with tun/tap).
