Mesh VPN with Service Discovery

Presented at The Eleventh HOPE (2016), July 22, 2016, 9 p.m. (60 minutes).

Tinc provides a secure mesh VPN for any number of hosts. Spencer and his friends used this to build a network linking their homes, laptops, and various hosted machines. They started doing some cool things with it such as UPnP and NFS, things that would be impossible to do securely over the public Internet. This talk will highlight their experiences along the way.
