But if you create a regular bridge and tells virt-manager or libvirt to use this for your virtual machines, virt-manager/libvirt will take care of the tun/tap setup. >From your virtual machines point of view, tun/tap will get you the same connectivity as if you plugged a ethernet cable from your network into it, without any restrictions.
