### 1.3 Supported platforms ¶

Tinc has been verified to work under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X (Darwin), Solaris, and Windows (both natively and in a Cygwin environment), with various hardware architectures. These are some of the platforms that are supported by the universal tun/tap device driver or other virtual network device drivers. Without such a driver, tinc will most likely compile and run, but it will not be able to send or receive data packets.
