# About tinc
Tinc is a peer-to-peer VPN daemon that supports VPNs with an arbitrary number of
nodes. Instead of configuring tunnels, you give tinc the location and public key
of a few nodes in the VPN. After making the initial connections to those nodes,
tinc will learn about all other nodes on the VPN, and will make connections
automatically. When direct connections are not possible, data will be forwarded
by intermediate nodes.
Tinc can operate in several routing modes. In the default mode, "router", every
node is associated with one or more IPv4 and/or IPv6 Subnets. The other two
modes, "switch" and "hub", let the tinc daemons work together to form a virtual
Ethernet network switch or hub.
## This is a pre-release
Please note that this is NOT a stable release. Until version 1.1.0 is released,
please use one of the 1.0.x versions if you need a stable version of tinc.
Although tinc 1.1 will be protocol compatible with tinc 1.0.x, the functionality
of the tinc program may still change, and the control socket protocol is not
fixed yet.
# Documentation
See [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) for a quick guide to get tinc up and running.
Read the [manual](https://www.tinc-vpn.org/documentation-1.1/) for more detailed
information.
