Tinc works, but is not really stable for my use case: strange network environment thanks to my school. It frequently falls into infinite loops, dropping all packets and fully use a CPU core (on Windows, Linux looks fine). It seems stable on an all-Linux network, but the moment a Windows client is added, things can go wrong.

It also does not really have a decent mobile client.

Thats very strange. I use tinc-vpn exclusivly for my network. Both Linux, Win32, and FreeBSD. Everything is very stable.

But I have to admit, I have private fork of tinc-vpn specifically for Win32. AFAIR I did only minor changes to TAP driver initialization and how scripts are executed. They have they own thread now and additionaly there is script called tinc-pre to handle IP initialization before TAP interface is up. Becuase meh, Windows Network Interfaces work strange :)
