TINC
Tinc is an open-source, self-routing, mesh networking protocol, used for compressed, encrypted, virtual private networks.
Tinc is available for FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Dragonfly BSD, Mac OS X, Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, IOS (jailbroken only), and Android with full support for IPv6.
You can download tinc for *nix and Windows systems from https://www.tinc-vpn.org/[4]
The tinc website includes many examples on common setups. They can be found at https://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/
Standard tinc setup
Tinc can be setup in a mesh network with multiple systems.
Note: You can setup tinc with just two systems using these instructions and adjusting the steps accordingly.
For this setup we will have three hosts called Server 1, Server 2, and Server 3. The following is a brief synopsis of the network config for each:
VPN NAME: NoMoreSecrets
SERVER 1:
public ip: 1.1.1.100 vpn ip: 10.0.0.1 connects to: server 2, server 3
SERVER 2:
public ip: 1.1.2.100 vpn ip: 10.0.0.2 connects to: server 1, server 3
SERVER 3:
public ip: 1.1.3.100 vpn ip: 10.0.0.3 connects to: server 1, server 2
The following directory tree will be present on all three hosts for this setup:
/etc └── tinc └── NoMoreSecrets ├── hosts │ ├── server1 │ ├── server2 │ └── server3 ├── rsa_key.priv ├── tinc.conf ├── tinc-down └── tinc-up
Individual node setup and configuration
All servers used in this example will be running Ubuntu 18.04.
Server1
- Install tinc
apt install tinc -y
- Create directories
mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
Create the following files:
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server1:
Address = 1.1.1.100 Subnet = 10.0.0.1
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
Name = server1 Interface = tun0 AddressFamily = ipv4 ConnectTo = server2 ConnectTo = server3
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
#!/bin/sh ip link set $INTERFACE up ip addr add 10.0.0.1/32 dev $INTERFACE ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
#!/bin/sh ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE ip addr del 10.0.0.1/32 dev $INTERFACE ip link set $INTERFACE down
Server2
- Install tinc
apt install tinc -y
- Create directories
mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
Create the following files:
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server2:
Address = 1.1.2.100 Subnet = 10.0.0.2
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
Name = server2 Interface = tun0 AddressFamily = ipv4 ConnectTo = server1 ConnectTo = server3
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
#!/bin/sh ip link set $INTERFACE up ip addr add 10.0.0.2/32 dev $INTERFACE ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
#!/bin/sh ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE ip addr del 10.0.0.2/32 dev $INTERFACE ip link set $INTERFACE down
Server3
- Install tinc
apt install tinc -y
- Create directories
mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
Create the following files:
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server3:
Address = 1.1.3.100 Subnet = 10.0.0.3
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
Name = server3 Interface = tun0 AddressFamily = ipv4 ConnectTo = server1 ConnectTo = server2
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
#!/bin/sh ip link set $INTERFACE up ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev $INTERFACE ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
- /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
#!/bin/sh ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE ip addr del 10.0.0.3/32 dev $INTERFACE ip link set $INTERFACE down
Create keypair
- On all servers create public/private keypair with:
tincd -n NoMoreSecrets -K4096
Synchronize host files
- Synchronize host files with public keys between all three servers with rsync:
- From Server1:
rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server2:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server3:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
- From Server2:
rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server1:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server3:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
- From Server3:
rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server1:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server2:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
- On all servers set the executable bit on the tinc-up and tinc-down scripts
chmod +x /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up chmod +x /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down
Start tinc
- On all servers enable and start tinc
systemctl enable tinc@NoMoreSecrets systemctl start tinc@NoMoreSecrets
Once tinc is up and running on all three servers you should be able to communicate over the 10.0.0.0/24 network.
Since this is a mesh network, if direct communication between two nodes drops, tinc will route all traffic through the remaining node until direct communication is restored.
Troubleshooting
- Check tinc logs to see what the error shown is. Refer to official documentation at https://www.tinc-vpn.org/docs/
- Check firewall on both hosts to make sure port 655 is being accepted.
- Check IP on Address line of hosts to ensure they are correct.
- Check IP on Subnet line of hosts files to ensure they are correct.
Simplified tinc 1.1 Windows setup
Examples on how to setup tinc 1.1 on Windows as either a server or client.
Server side config
- Download tinc
- Install tinc
- Open command prompt and type the following:
cd "C:\Program Files\tinc" tinc -n vpn init master tinc -n vpn add subnet 10.0.1.1 tinc -n vpn add address=public.domain-or-ip cd tap-win64 addtap.bat netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces (Note disconnected interface. May be called Ethernet 2) netsh interface set interface name = "Ethernet 2" newname = "tinc" netsh interface ip set address "tinc" static 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 netsh interface ipv4 show config (Should create a tinc interface with IP and subnet) cd ..
To start tinc:
tincd -n vpn
To invite clients:
tinc -n vpn invite client1
Client side config
- Download tinc
- Install tinc
- Open command prompt and type the following:
cd "C:\Program Files\tinc" tinc join <invite-url> tinc -n vpn add subnet 10.0.1.2 cd tap-win64 addtap.bat netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces (Note disconnected interface. May be called Ethernet 2) netsh interface set interface name = "Ethernet 2" newname = "tinc" netsh interface ip set address "tinc" static 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0 cd ..
To test connection:
tincd -n vpn -D -d3
To run tinc as service:
tincd -n vpn
Notes
Tinc will automatically register itself as a service when started without -D or --no-detach option.
Calling tinc with -k or --kill option will cause it to automatically unregister itself.
SoftEther
SoftEther VPN is an Open-Source Free Cross-platform Multi-protocol VPN Program, that is an academic project from the University of Tsukuba in Japan.
You can download SoftEther for FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, Solaris, and Windows from https://www.softether.org/[5]
Features
- SSL-VPN tunnelling on HTTPS to pass though NAT and firewalls
- Revolutionary VPN over ICMP and VPN over DNS featuers
- Ethernet-bridging (L2) and IP-routing (L3) over VPN.
- Embedded dynamic-DNS and NAT-traversal
- SSL-VPN (HTTPS) and support for 6 major VPN protocols: OpenVPN, IPSEC, L2TP, MS-SSTP, L2TPv3, and EtherIP)
Cisco L2TPv3
Use the setup of SoftEther here as a guide for an L2TPv3 connection to a Cisco device.
SoftEther settings
Now make the following adjustments to the IPSEC/L2TPv3 settings shown there:
- Under IPSEC/L2TP setting select the checkbox for Enable EtherIP/L2TPv3 over IPsec Server Function
- Select EtherIP / L2TP Detail Settings
- ISAKMP Phase 1 ID: Specify local IP address of Cisco device here
- Fill in username/password settings
- Under Virtual Hub management
- Select Virtual NAT and virtual DHCP server function
- Secure NAT settings wtill be used to set Virtual DHCP server settings
Type | Port # |
---|---|
UDP | 500 |
UDP | 4500 |
UDP | 1701 |
- Encryption: If you have an issue with using AES during your initial testing, try using DES or 3DES. Once you have the connection established try switching to a more secure algorithm.
Cisco config
And then use the following config below on your Cisco device instead of what is listed on the SoftEther site to get L2TPv3 working:
Local IP addess | Peer IP (SoftEther Public IP) | Pre-shared key |
---|---|---|
192.168.100.100 (ISAKMP Phase 1 ID) | 1.1.1.100 | CHANGEME |
- Note: By default Cisco may have NAT-Traversal enabled. This settings is not required.
- Specify the L2TPv3 settings and interface (change FastEterhnet0/0 to match your device's interface).
pseudowire-class L2TPv3 encapsulation l2tpv3 ip local interface FastEthernet0/0
- Note: You can chance the pseudowire-class interface's name from L2TPv3 to something more descriptive if you want.
- ISAKMP settings:
crypto isakmp policy 1 encr aes 256 authentication pre-share group 2 crypto isakmp key CHANGEME address 1.1.1.100 crypto isakmp keepalive 10 periodic
Note: You can use AES 256 encryption here. DH group uses type 2 1024 bit encryption.
- IPSEC settings:
crypto ipsec transform-set IPSEC esp-3des esp-sha-hmac mode transport crypto ipsec fragmentation after-encryption
Note: 3des is being used here in this example. If you put this tunnel into production make sure you change the cipher used to AES!!!
- Cryptographic map:
crypto map MAP 1 ipsec-isakmp set peer 1.1.1.100 set transform-set IPSEC match address IPSEC_MATCH_RULE
- Interface configuration
interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.100.100 255.255.255.0 no ip proxy-arp duplex auto speed auto crypto map MAP
Note: FastEthernet0/0 uses the local IP address specified above and has the crypto map applied.
- Use FastEthernet0/1 as the interface for the tunnel
interface FastEthernet0/1 no ip address duplex auto speed auto no cdp enable xconnect 1.1.1.100 1 encapsulation l2tpv3 pw-class L2TPv3 bridge-group 1
- Access list:
ip access-list extended IPSEC_MATCH_RULE permit 115 any any
- Now connect a device to FastEthernet0/1. It should get a DHCP lease from SoftEther and be on the network.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot the tunnel use the following commands:
debug crypt isakmp debug crypt ipsec debug l2tp all
- Show ISAKMP SA status:
#show crypto isakmp sa IPv4 Crypto ISAKMP SA dst src state conn-id status 1.1.1.100 192.168.100.100 QM_IDLE 1011 ACTIVE IPv6 Crypto ISAKMP SA ・IPSec #show crypto ipsec sa interface: FastEthernet0/0 Crypto map tag: MAP, local addr 192.168.100.100 protected vrf: (none) local ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/115/0) remote ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/115/0) current_peer 1.1.1.100 port 4500 PERMIT, flags={origin_is_acl,} #pkts encaps: 54342, #pkts encrypt: 54342, #pkts digest: 54342 #pkts decaps: 179917, #pkts decrypt: 179917, #pkts verify: 179917 #pkts compressed: 0, #pkts decompressed: 0 #pkts not compressed: 0, #pkts compr. failed: 0 #pkts not decompressed: 0, #pkts decompress failed: 0 #send errors 23, #recv errors 0 local crypto endpt.: 192.168.100.100, remote crypto endpt.: 1.1.1.100 path mtu 1500, ip mtu 1500, ip mtu idb FastEthernet0/0 current outbound spi: 0x48E82D7A(1223175546) PFS (Y/N): N, DH group: none inbound esp sas: spi: 0x1B68FD22(459865378) transform: esp-3des esp-sha-hmac , in use settings ={Tunnel UDP-Encaps, } conn id: 2107, flow_id: NETGX:107, sibling_flags 80000046, crypto map: MAP sa timing: remaining key lifetime (k/sec): (4386973/1557) IV size: 8 bytes replay detection support: Y Status: ACTIVE inbound ah sas: inbound pcp sas: outbound esp sas: spi: 0x48E82D7A(1223175546) transform: esp-3des esp-sha-hmac , in use settings ={Tunnel UDP-Encaps, } conn id: 2108, flow_id: NETGX:108, sibling_flags 80000046, crypto map: MAP sa timing: remaining key lifetime (k/sec): (4386975/1557) IV size: 8 bytes replay detection support: Y Status: ACTIVE outbound ah sas: outbound pcp sas:

Starting the VPN
Use one fo the following commands to start your VPNC based VPN connection.
- This command would run VPNC using /etc/vpnc/default.conf, if it exists. If it does not, it would prompt for the connection information:
sudo vpnc
- This would run VPNC using /etc/vpnc/external.conf, if it exists.
sudo vpnc external
Starting at boot
You can start your VPNC based VPN connection at boot using one of the following methods.
/etc/rc.local
This is the simplest way and does not involve creating init scripts or systemd service files.
Add a line such as the following into your /etc/rc.local file:
vpnc
systemd
To control from systemd:
- Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/vpnc@.service
[Unit] Description=VPNC connection to %i Wants=network-online.target After=network.target network-online.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/bin/vpnc --pid-file=/run/vpnc@%i.pid /etc/vpnc/%i.conf PIDFile=/run/vpnc@%i.pid [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
- Enable default VPNC configuration to be managed by systemd:
systemctl enable vpnc
- Start default VPNC connection with systemd:
systemctl start vpnc
Note: If you have multiple VPNC configurations or chose to name your config, you will substitute vpnc for vpnc@<config name>.
