VULHUB ™

tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunneling and encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on the Internet. Because the tunnel appears to the IP level network code as a normal network device, there is no need to adapt any existing software. This tunneling allows VPN sites to share information with eachother over the Internet without exposing any information to others. A single tinc daemon can accept more than one connection at a time, thus making it possible to create larger virtual networks, because some limitations are circumvented. Currently only Linux/x86 platforms (with kernel versions of 2.1.80 and above) are supported; a FreeBSD port is possible, research is currently being done.
