Yes. I use it in production for that exact purpose. It only requires that one node is reachable via public IP address.
An advantage that tinc has over wireguard is that it can do local discovery and direct communication if your devices happen to be in the same local network.
- INTPenis 3y agoSo it's no different from the setup I have today with a hub VPS then. Since my portable devices are always on the move, I must have a VPS to remain publicly accessible. Just like tinc.
- admax88qqq 3y agoIt's different in that two portable devices can negotiate a direct connection without having to route all traffic through your VPS. The VPS is still used as a central discovery location, but remote devices can learn about each other and talk directly to eachother.
