The following tutorial will setup a very simple scenario, where you create a tinc vpn between two computers in the same network. In this scenario <code>heinz</code> will connect to <code>peter</code>. But this will make <code>heinz</code> also visible to <code>peter</code>.

It can easily be [https://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/ improved to a setup with ~~muliple~~ computers] involved.

Also the host files need to contain the public keys for this host.

So lets create the two hostfiles. ~~Asuming~~ we have generated keys for the 2 machines and they are stored in the folders <code>heinz</code> and <code>peter</code>.

We have to configure the tinc ~~tunel~~ interface.
