When using taptap you should always attach your XQ device to the tun
device not configured for IP on the host (tun1 in your case). If you
want the virtual ethernet created by taptap to be bridged to a real
ethernet, you should add the tun device configured for IP on the host
(tun0 in your case) to the bridge, but there is absolutely no point in
attaching the simulator to the bridge interface itself.

There should be a XQB device.
