FIXME: What's a VPN, what's Tinc

Installation on Server(s) and Client(s)

FreeBSD

  • Install tinc 1.1 pre from ports
sudo pkg install tinc-devel               # binary
sudo portmaster -iB security/tinc-devel   # source

GNU/Linux (Debian based)

  • Install tinc 1.1 pre from source
sudo apt install -y build-essential libncurses5-dev libreadline6-dev libzlcore-dev zlib1g-dev liblzo2-dev libssl-dev
,/configure
make
sudo make install

Setup Server(s)

FreeBSD

  • Initialize new VPN
sudo tinc -n beernet init server
  • Configure the host's own interface
sudo tinc -n beernet add subnet 10.10.10.1
  • Configure the host's public IP, or domain if you have one for the host
sudo tinc -n beernet add address=super.domain.xxx  # if you have a domain ...
sudo tinc -n beernet add address=1.1.1.1           # or if you just have a public IP
  • edit /usr/local/etc/tinc/beernet/tinc-up, so that your network interface is brought up correctly, for instance with:
ifconfig $INTERFACE 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0  # leave $INTERFACE as it is
  • test if your VPN works nicely for the time being by running it directly in a shell with extra verbose options:
tincd -n beernet -D -d3

Setup Client

FreeBSD

GNU/Linux
