Tinc seems to be growing still though. As of a few months there's finally a proper client for Android that doesn't require root! And it works really well.
Only thing I have against tinc is that weird Apache logo... It looks so amateurist. Like a clip art pic that has nothing to do with the actual project.
It made more sense in 1998 when tinc got its name. It refers to the Internet cabal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Cabal), and three-letter agencies which would snoop your network traffic and send in unmarked vans and black helicopters if you did something they didn't like. Suggestions for a new logo are welcome!
Ah thanks for explaining this! I never knew that's what tinc stood for.
Fun fact though: In 1998 there was no worldwide traffic snooping. That only happened with the reorganisation of US and NATO intelligence after 9/11 :) But good future prediction. I do think it would have happened either way.
I just feel like tinc undermines itself with this logo. It's hard to take something seriously that doesn't take itself seriously. Even though it's an excellent project. I think something more generic like the logo on the recent android app would do (though probably a bit less generic than that!!)
