feature request? user-mode tinc

[david nicol]

I have an account on a server, where I do not
have access to root or kernel rebuilds on a *BSD box.

I am setting up tinc VPN in several other servers.

I would like to establish a tinc node on my virtual server
and have the node relate to other programs on my server
via UNIX sockets.

Does such a tool (or tool-kit) exist, to allow me to run a
tinc-compatible VPN node completely in user mode? I guess
ideally, the tool would work something like inetd or xinetd
for listening and would provide an API for mapping remotes
connections to file-system sockets.

( I want to carry SQL traffic over the link.)

No, tinc is specifically made to handle network traffic through a
virtual network device like ethertap or the universal tun/tap device, it
does not work like a portforwarder.
