n2n for Debian QUICKSTART
--------------
This package depends on the kernel having the TUN/TAP driver configured in using
CONFIG_TUN=yes.
Quickstart
---------- ----------
* Decide where to place your supernode. Suppose you put it on host a.b.c.d To establish a VPN you need to run the edge binary on all the client computers
at port xyw. you want to participate. n2n has another binary called supernode which enables
* Decide what encryption password you want to use to secure your data. the clients to talk to each other. Even a comprised supernode cannot sniff the
Suppose you use the password encryptme traffic or the passwords for clients that are connected to it so most users
* Decide the network name you want to use. Suppose you call it mynetwork. will not need to bother with running their but can simply rely on publically
Note that you can use your supernode/edge nodes to handle multiple networks, available supernodes.
not just one.
* Decide what IP address you plan to use on your edge nodes. Suppose you
use IP address 10.1.2.0/24
* Start your applications:
o #supernode > supernode -l xyw public n2n supernodes:
o #edge node1> edge -a 10.1.2.1 -c mynetwork -k encryptme -l a.b.c.d:xyw - remoteqth.com:82
o #edge node2> edge -a 10.1.2.2 -c mynetwork -k encryptme -l a.b.c.d:xyw
HINT: vpnhosting.cz provides a public n2n supernode you can use for testing. Go through the rest of the configuration file in /etc/default/n2n and run
It is available at 88.86.108.50 port 82, use "-l 88.86.108.50:82" "/etc/init.d/n2n start" as root when you are ready. Ping your local and a
remote address to test your network
Now test your n2n network:
o #edge node1> ping 10.1.2.2
o #edge node2> ping 10.1.2.1
