+tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunneling and
+encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on the
+Internet.
+
+Because the tunnel appears to the IP level network code as a normal
+network device, there is no need to adapt any existing software.
+
+This tunneling allows VPN sites to share information with each other
+over the Internet without exposing any information to others.
