Possible to use Tinc with embedded SSL implementations like PolarSSL, YaSSL?
I've tried my best searching for whether this question has already been posted to tinc listservs, so apologies if this is a repeat question. Is it possible to use tinc with SSL implementations besides OpenSSL, e.g. the PolarSSL or YaSSL/cyassl libraries used on embedded distros like OpenWRT?

PolarSSL or CyaSSL do not expose the functionality needed by tinc. In theory, libgcrypt or LibTomCrypt could be used instead of OpenSSL. In tinc 1.1, some effort was made to allow tinc to be compiled with different crypto libraries, in particular libgcrypt, but this work is not complete. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus at tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
