Solution 1

NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() (using System.Net.NetworkInformation) should do the job:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=DE-DE&k=k(NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework,Version%3Dv4.5);k(DevLang-csharp)&rd=true[^]

An example you can find here:
NetworkInterface-Klasse (System.Net.NetworkInformation)[^]
Search in the example for "adapter.NetworkInterfaceType"

I hope it helps.

I got Tunnel, it means that it is by wire ?
If I want to translate the Tunnel into another language how I can do it ?

Tunneling has nothing to do with the physical Transmission medium... see i.e. Windows TCP Tunnel[^] for tunneling
