SECURITY
--------
n2n was abandoned upstream many years ago. It is also a leaf package in use by
only a limited number of users. Therefore, users should take into account the
possibility of security vulnerabilities in the VPNs it creates. n2n is probably
not the best solution for you if you need a very high level of security for your
communications going over the VPN. Consider one of the alternatives like
freelan, another p2p VPN solution available in Debian and its derivatives.
That being said, n2n is still in use on an almost daily basis by the Debian
maintainer who is not aware of any exploits. He likes n2n for its availability
on a number of platforms including routers (OpenWRT, Freetz), low footprint,
simple configuration and independence from a trusted central relay.
