tink solution and mesh

[Costa Luciana]

Hi.

 

I read that one feature of tink vpn solution is the Automatic Full Mesh
Routing support that is defined  as: "regardless of how you set up the
tinc daemons to connect to each other, VPN traffic is always (if
possible) sent directly to the destination, without going through
intermediate" hops. 

What this means?

I don't understand how this work. Can you please give me some
information about it?

 

I have the following problem. I have an ad-hoc network, for example five
laptop A, B, C, D, E.  They are connected in the following manner:

 

A -------- B-----------C

   |

   |

   |

                                       D

   |                                           

   |  

   |

   E      

This mean that, for example,  that node A can reach node D through B,
that  is B is the gateway for node A to reach node D. 

Now I want that the traffic from node A to node D is encrypted. So I
think to set up a multipoint VPN.  That means, that each node sets up a
VPN with its gateway to reach the other nodes. 

In the example above node A configures a VPN with node B (the gateway to
reach the other nodes), node B sets up a VPN with node C (its gateway to
reach the other nodes) and so on. 

In order to allow the traffic from node A to node D (distant more than
two hops) to pass encrypted, I need to configure VPN in tunnel mode.

My question is: is this configuration possible using tink solution?

The mesh feature is needed?

 

Very thanks in advanced.
