The world is full of good surprises, and TINC is definitely one of them.

Are you running a distributed system across multiple datacenters? Perhaps you’re using Cassandra or another distributed database? TINC is the networking solution you’ve been looking for. TINC creates a secure, decentralized virtual private network that automatically establishes a fully meshed topology between your nodes.

What makes TINC stand out:

  • Zero single points of failure
  • Automatic mesh routing around NAT and firewalls
  • Military-grade encryption
  • Remarkably simple setup

I followed these setup instructions and was impressed by how smoothly everything worked - no debugging or log diving required. For anyone managing distributed systems, TINC is a game-changer.
