After tinkering with tinc for a while I was able to get two Windows XP to
connect with each other.
("tincd -d" is your friend) ;-)
http://tinc.nl.linux.org/examples/windows-install
makes no mention of installing cygwin
It makes no mention of installing zlib, LZO, or OpenSSL.
Some older documentation/examples I found does.
Everything seems to be working. :-)
tinc.conf contains three lines:
Name = ...
ConnectTo = ...
Interface = VPN
My host file contains:
Subnet = my.ip.add.here/32
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
blah blah blah... my key here
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
(No switches like "Compression" or "Cypher" are being used)
My simple question is...
If I followed the "windows-install" example above...
Is encryption and/or compression being used ???
How can I tell how many hosts are connected and if they are using
encryption/compression?

You might have noticed that you could select "Install documentation" when running the installer. There is also a link "Documentation" on our website. If you have trouble finding the documentation, or after reading you still don't understand certain things, feel free to ask more questions. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@sliepen.eu.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
