I looked at tinc yesterday, but it seems there are two options:

1. the stable release which only supports RSA-2048 keys (giving it RSA-4096 keys resulted in really bizarre errors like "read public key file failed: Operation now in progress"), and

2. the unstable release which does not compile on my system because of broken dependencies (and even if I got it to work, I have huge reservations about using unstable releases of cryptographic systems).

Am I missing something?

It's a small open source project that works very well for a lot of people. If you need stronger keys for your use case you'll have to wait for 1.1 to be stable. For me VPNs are not about security they're about getting connectivity working between my machines in a uniform way on top of networks that have restrictions. For security I always assume the network is hostile, even if it is my own LAN or VPN.
