Yeah things like improving the encryption I would expect even with a stable but active product like this. Especially given ChaCha20’s widespread adoption and optimisation these days. Likewise I would have liked to have seen decent tinc phone clients (ios, Android). But this is a failing of a lot of VPN clients.
Just look at the release interval on their news page.
Honestly I think the likes of WireGuard, Tailscale, etc took the steam out of the developer. It’s a shame because I do prefer to have a diverse range of VPNs rather than just OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard.

- gsliepen 3y agoIt's not so much the other VPN products out there, rather no time and no other core developers. There have been lots of people contributing, some much more than others, but usually it was just to scratch their itch, after which they move on (which is perfectly fine). I'm not sure how to revitalize development if there is not a large interest from developers, and I don't want to turn this into something commercial like OpenVPN did.
- yardstick 3y agoYes completely understand you re time. Just one of those things that happens with life. Thanks for creating tinc, truly an awesome approach to meshed VPNs!
