 Mesh VPN
 ========
 
 Gluon integrates several layer 2 tunneling protocols to
 allow connections between local meshes through the internet.

+.. [1] No encryption allows internet providers to read and alter mesh traffic.
+.. [2] The Gateway can ignore authentication for the initial connection request, via ``"on verify 'true'"``. However, a node→gateway handshake authentication with valid fastd keys in the site.conf is still required.
+.. [3] Initial connection request can be authenticated, however, payload data is not authenticated afterward.

+
+Additional, notable compatibility features
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+* fastd: multiple encrypted and unencrypted methods can be handled by one daemon
+* fastd: a ``null@l2tp`` peer with offloading is fully compatible with a peer with ``null@l2tp`` without offloading
+* fastd+WireGuard: a single secret can be used for both fastd and WireGuard via :ref:`gluon-mesh-vpn-key-translate <gluon-mesh-vpn-key-translate>`, so no need for a node owner switching to (or from) Wireguard from (or to) fastd to submit a new key
