I've been using tinc for quite while. How does it compare to Wireguard?

One Tinc advantage is that it can run on an Openwrt router.





They're somewhat complimentary. I've got both running along side each other. Wireguard has much better throughput, but tinc guarantees a fully connected network (each node can reach every other node).

I wish wireguard could accept overlapping AllowedIPs ranges, appear as an L2 interface, and take a nexthop from the system routing table. Imagine multiple hosts each providing egress to each other - tinc can do this topology when setup to act as an ethernet segment. But wireguard is so trivial to setup, it's easy enough to run a parallel instance for each horizon.
