- This experimental GUI is written in Python with wxPython widgets. You need to
- have both installed for it to work. After starting tinc with either tincd or
- tincctl, you can start the gui:
- tincd -n vpn
- tinc-gui -n vpn
- If the GUI cannot find the pid file (for example if it is not in
- /var/run), you can specify its location manually:
- tinc-gui --pidfile /usr/local/var/run/tinc.vpn.pid
- The following things sort of work:
- - Changing the debug level from the settings page
- - Viewing the list of connections, nodes, edges and subnets. These lists will
- be refreshed once per second.
- - Right-clicking on a connection brings up a popup menu, which allows you to
- close a connection.
- Python was chosen to enable rapid application development, wxWidgets for its
- cross-platform compatibility and platform-native widgets. Once the GUI is
- matured, it will probably rewritten in C++ to allow static linking and easy
- distribution, without needing to install both Python and wxWidgets.
