Tinc Description

Free VPN daemon that creates secure private networks between hosts on the internet tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunnelling and encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on the Internet. Because the VPN appears to the IP level network code as a normal network device, there is no need to adapt any existing software. This allows VPN sites to share information with each other over the Internet without exposing any information to others. Here are some key features of "Tinc": Encryption, authentication and compression: · All traffic is optionally compressed using zlib or LZO, and OpenSSL is used to encrypt the traffic and protect it from alteration with message authentication codes and sequence numbers. Automatic full mesh routing: · Regardless of how you set up the tinc daemons to connect to each other, VPN traffic is always (if possible) sent directly to the destination, without going through intermediate hops. Easily expand your VPN: · When you want to add nodes to your VPN, all you have to do is add an extra configuration file, there is no need to start new daemons or create and configure new devices or network interfaces. Ability to bridge ethernet segments: · You can link multiple ethernet segments together to work like a single segment, allowing you to run applications and games that normally only work on a LAN over the Internet. Runs on many operating systems and supports IPv6: · Currently Mac OS X, Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Windows 2000 and XP platforms are supported. See our section about supported platforms for more information about the state of the ports. tinc has also full support for IPv6, providing both the possibility of tunneling IPv6 traffic over its tunnels and of creating tunnels over existing IPv6 networks. What's New in This Release: · Fixed tinc as a service under Windows 2003. · Fixed reading configuration files that do not end with a newline. · Fixed crashes in situations where hostnames could not be resolved or hosts would disconnect at the same time as session keys were exchanged. · Improved default settings of tun and tap devices on BSD platforms. · Make IPv6 sockets bind only to IPv6 on Linux. · Enable path MTU discovery by default. · Fixed a memory leak that occured when connections were closed.
