+Tinc has been verified to work under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X (Darwin), Solaris, and Windows (both natively and in a Cygwin environment),
with various hardware architectures. These are some of the platforms
that are supported by the universal tun/tap device driver or other virtual network device drivers.
Without such a driver, tinc will most

Tinc on Darwin relies on a tunnel driver for its data acquisition from the kernel.
Tinc supports either the driver from @uref{http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/},
-which supports both tun and tap style devices,
-and also the driver from from @uref{http://chrisp.de/en/projects/tunnel.html}.
-The former driver is recommended.
-The tunnel driver must be loaded before starting tinc with the following command:
-
-@example
-kmodload tunnel
-@end example
+which supports both tun and tap style devices.

The documentation that comes along with your distribution will tell you how to do that.

+In order to build tinc on Darwin, you need to install the Mac OS X Developer Tools

After installation use fink to download and install the following packages:

On some platforms, when running tinc in switch mode, the VPN interface must be set to tap mode with an ifconfig command:
-@multitable {Darwin (MacOS/X)} {ifconfig route add -bla network address netmask netmask prefixlength interface}
+@multitable {Darwin (Mac OS X)} {ifconfig route add -bla network address netmask netmask prefixlength interface}

It can be useful to set up a tun/tap interface owned by a non-root user, so
tinc can be started without needing any root privileges at all.
