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 additionally contains two end devices (END1 and END2), each connected to a separate router's LAN. When this scheme is realized, 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.

In addition to traffic encryption, tinc VPN also supports automatic full mesh routing - VPN traffic is always (if possible) sent directly to the destination, without going through intermediate hops.
