<p dir="ltr">I run a few public-facing tinc nodes, on one of which I use sslh/nginx/tinc on port 443.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sslh is a demultiplexing daemon that interprets the network traffic and determines if it's HTTPS/ssl or ssh/openvpn/tinc. Bind sslh to port 443 and if it sees HTTPS traffic, then it forwards to nginx. If it sees tinc traffic, it forwards to tinc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Essentially it hides tinc behind an https server, and as long as you can access https websites on foreign networks, then you can probably access your vpn. Works for me very well!</p>

<p dir="ltr">I wasn't able to find anything on this searching the Web. My initial thoughts are to take a location that doesn't need an https service and run a tinc node just for relaying on port 443. Can I just port forward from 443 to 655 or should I create a new second host on the same machine. </p>
