Ok. We already have similar code for 'vpn%d' anyway, for creating tun
devices 'in advance' so that they can then be used by a VPN dæmon
running as a non-root user:

        for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
                if (tun_name)
                        g_free(tun_name);

                sprintf(ifr.ifr_name, "vpn%d", i);
                
                if (!ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, (void *)&ifr))
                        break;
        }
