using tun0 on centos6

1

I'm connected to a VPN known to work from server-side (I can connect to it on Windows). I cannot use the VPN on Centos6.

ping -I tun0 www.google.com

Warning: cannot bind to specified iface, falling back: Operation not permitted
PING www.l.google.com (74.125.224.50) from 192.168.1.139 tun0: 56(84) bytes of data.

Not sure what else would be helpful, but would be glad to provide it. Thanks in advance.
