'''Prerequisites''':
'''Prerequisites''':
* Two RUTxxx routers or TRB gateways of any type
* Two RUTxxx routers or TRB gateways of any type
* At least one router must have a Public Static or Public Dynamic IP address
* At least one router must have a '''Public Static''' or '''Public Dynamic''' IP address
* At least one end device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone) to configure the routers
* At least one end device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone) to configure the routers
* (Optional) A second end device to configure and test remote LAN access
* (Optional) A second end device to configure and test remote LAN access
There will be two tinc configuration schemes presented. Although the second scheme is only an extension of the first one. Therefore, to configure the second scheme, you will have to configure the first as well.

As mentioned earlier, configuration scheme 2 (figure above) is an extension of configuration scheme 1. While configuration scheme 1 only depicts a connection between two tinc instances, you can see that configuration scheme 2 includes additional two end devices (END1 and END2), each connected to a separate router's LAN. When this topology is set up, not only will the two routers be able to communicate with each other, but the end devices will also be reachable to one another and from each router.
