tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunnelling and encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on the Internet.
*** tinc-vpn on armhf architectures will be available soon. ***
Setup: You must manually connect interfaces to the snap:
sudo snap connect tinc-vpn:network-control
sudo snap connect tinc-vpn:network-manager
sudo snap connect tinc-vpn:network-observe
sudo snap connect tinc-vpn:network-setup-control
Then create a directory in /var/snap/tinc-vpn/ called tinc, where you will store configuration files:
sudo mkdir /var/snap/tinc-vpn/tinc
Lastly, set permissions as follows:
sudo chown username:username /var/snap/tinc-vpn/tinc -R
sudo chmod 775 /var/snap/tinc-vpn/tinc -R
After this, follow usual instructions on tinc homepage...
When referencing command tinc-vpn.tincd, you must provide two options:
-c /var/snap/tinc-vpn/tinc/(netname) --pidfile=/run/shm/snap.tinc-vpn.tinc.pid
and run 'tinc-vpn.tincd' using root privileges e.g. sudo or otherwise. This is to allow tincd to access the virtual tun network device on Linux.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install tinc VPN, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install tinc-vpn
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
