tinc - Oct 2004 - capabilities of Tinc?

Hello All,

I am very new to Tinc and after much searching on the web for a possible 
solution for my project, I came across Tinc which look, at least 
initially, like it my do the job.

Here is a brief challenge to my project.

1.  To allow nodes to listen for connections as well as be able to make 
connections to other nodes as well. (Looks like Tinc does this)
2. To easily allow the adding/removal from a dynamic network.
3. To Scale well over each node.
4. I will have, for example, 40 users. I will need to establish
"groups"
such that various users (Roadwarriors) will be able to connect to a node 
and talk with other users in that group who are online at that time 
while not being seen by users outside the group.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Lonnie

Yes, tinc will do that as well.

That too.

Tinc has no notion of groups inside VPNs. You either create one VPN, and
everyone connected to that VPN can see every other, or you create
multiple VPNs (by starting multiple tinc daemons) and people can only
see people in the same VPN.
