Comments on Installing a VPN with Tinc on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Tinc is an open-source VPN daemon that available for a wide range of platforms and has several advantages over similar VPN clients. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a secure private network that operates over a larger public network such as the internet. VPNs have become increasingly popular in recent years, largely because they offer increased security and privacy without the need for setting up expensive and complex new hardware.

Just a hint for all the Debian and Ubuntu users: nets.boot does no longer work on newer versions (at least ubuntu 16.04 if i mind correctly). Instead of this, Systemd uses slices. To enable tinc at boot enter:

systemctl enable tinc@netnamefor specific networks or

systemctl enable tinc

for all configured networks in Tinc.
