Unlike many other VPN programs, n2n can also connect computers which reside behind NAT routers.[2] These connections are set up with help from a third computer that both computers can reach.[3] This computer, called a supernode, can then route the information between NATed nodes.[4]
It is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3.[3]
n3n forked from n2n in 2023.[5]
Turbo VPN is a custom Windows server/client implementation of n2n.[citation needed]
