Tinc's security track record has not been especially great†, and while WireGuard and tinc are both written in C, tinc is a great ghastly blob of C, and WireGuard was written defensively by a vulnerability researcher to minimize attack surface --- the whole thing is about 4000 lines of code, and can be run without memory allocation.
Jul 11, 2018 · There are many open-source VPN options but one of them shines above the others: tinc. All VPNs behave as a secure tunnel between two points, but tinc stands out for its “Peer-to-Peer” design. The design allows tinc users a great deal of flexibility, especially when planning a mesh-type network. From a clear two-server connection to complex mesh private network, this guide will show you how to configure tinc VPN in three different use-case scenarios. TINC-TCP is way too slow, and UDP tunnels are somewhat slower than OpenVPN-TCP. FTP: difference of the simultaneous transfer times: (slowest transfer time/fastest transfer time*100-100) - plain network: 3,9% - OpenVPN-TCP: 0,4% - OpenVPN-UDP: 35,0% - OpenVPN-UDP-LZO: 37,9% - TINC-TCP: 17,4% - TINC-UDP: 75,9% OpenVPN-TCP wins again. The only technical downside to OpenVPN I see is that in comparison with it's competitors the system introduces a lot of latency in the VPN links. Update: I've found that this was a fault not with OpenVPN generally, but with my tests only. When OpenVPN is run on the TCP protocol, the TCP overheads makes OpenVPN slightly slower. OpenWrt has an installable package for tinc. OPNsense, an open source router and firewall distribution, has a plugin for Tinc. pfSense has an installable package in the 2.3 release. Tomato has tinc support included in the Shibby mod. NYC Mesh use tinc to encrypt traffic around their mesh network.
Good day all. Thanks in advance if anyone chime in I’d appreciate it. LAN is Verizon commercial cellular connection. it’s local side is standard it’s direct connection is a strange address of 172.168.0.X which felt strange to me since it’s not a classed range.
There are more ways to configure TINC, we are going to use it in "router mode" with a "VPN Transfer Network". This VPN transfer network is nothing special, it's just an IP range from which we pick a different IP for each TINC daemon. The remote networks will be accessible via TINC, e.g. routed via these IPs. dub - 172.16.0.1/24; ham - 172.16.0.2/24 Aug 26, 2018 · WireGuard is a new type of VPN that aims to be simpler to set up and maintain than current VPNs and to offer a higher degree of security. The software is free and open source—it's licensed GPLv2

Oct 23, 2015 · I was given the task of setting up a tinc VPN so that we could test performance for comparison against other VPN systems. This task took much longer than it should have. For that reason I am making this post to help myself and others remember how to do it again in the fut Jun 18, 2014 · Tinc is supported on many operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
