TINC-GUI(8)

💅 NAME 💅

ok so tinc-gui — it's the tinc GUI, bestie. that's literally the whole name. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tinc-gui [-n] [--net=NETNAME] [--pidfile=FILENAME] [--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: it's a graphical user interface for tinc, the secure virtual private network (VPN) project — and it's built on Python/wxWidgets, so it's giving ✨desktop app realness✨.

tinc-gui talks to tincd(8) to change stuff and peek at the state of your running VPN. it can show you the current settings, the list of connections, nodes, subnets, and edges. main character energy, honestly.

for now? the debug level can be changed right from the GUI, and if you right-click on a node in the list of connections, a pop-up menu appears that lets you disconnect that node. lowkey iconic. 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -n, --net=NETNAME — communicate with the tincd(8) that's connected with NETNAME. iykyk.
• --pidfile=FILENAME — use the cookie from FILENAME to authenticate with a running tinc daemon. if you don't specify it, the default is /var/run/tinc.NETNAME.pid. no cap.
• --help — display a short list of options. the classic.

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, the GUI is not finished yet 😭 — the final version will have much more functionality. so like, be patient with her, she's growing. if you find any bugs, report them to tinc@tinc-vpn.org. we're listening fr fr 🙈
