tinc - May 2002 - tinc + dynamic IP

Hi, tinc looks great.  I have been using vtun but I am worried about security.

Looking at the design of tinc, if one of the hosts has a dynamic IP, it would
seem tinc will not work.  Correct?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the files doc/SECURITY2 and doc/PROTOCOL in the source
tarball.

No.

tinc will keep trying to reconnect after a connection has been lost,
so a few seconds after your IP address changed, your connection should
be alive again.
