ensure you have the latest stable versions of all the required libraries:
- OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org/) version 1.0.0 or later, with support for
elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and Galois counter mode (GCM) enabled.
- LibreSSL (http://www.libressl.org/) or OpenSSL (https://openssl.org/) version 1.0.0 or later.
The following libraries are used by default, but can be disabled if necessary:

connections automatically. When direct connections are not possible, data will
be forwarded by intermediate nodes.
By default, nodes authenticate each other using 2048 bit RSA (or 521 bit
ECDSA*) keys. Traffic is encrypted using Blowfish in CBC mode (or AES-256 in
GCM mode*), authenticated using HMAC-SHA1 (or GCM*), and is protected against
replay attacks.
*) When using the ExperimentalProtocol option.
Tinc 1.1 support two protocols. The first is a legacy protocol that provides
backwards compatibility with tinc 1.0 nodes, and which by default uses 2048 bit
RSA keys for authentication, and encrypts traffic using Blowfish in CBC mode
and HMAC-SHA1. The second is a new protocol which uses Curve25519 keys for
authentication, and encrypts traffic using Chacha20-Poly1305, and provides
forward secrecy.
Tinc fully supports IPv6.
