tinc works well using Tor v3 onions, with MPTCP link aggregation

tinc hosts listen for connections to Tor v3 onion services, and they connect to peers using Tor SocksPorts. MPTCP aggregates full-mesh connections between hosts. For Internet hosts with well-peered gigabit uplinks, this permits throughput among peers at 30-50 Mbps for multiple streams, vs ~10 Mbps at most for individual connections.

https://github.com/annymous/oniontinc includes bash scripts for almost everything involved in creating full-mesh networks, using Debian hosts. The scripts draw on a simple configuration table with required information about all hosts in the network. The scripts specify subnets 10.101.1N.0/24 with N=0-5, which are part of the subnet 10.100.0.0/14 that ChaosVPN has allocated for American and other hackerspaces. But one can use any subnet, such as something in 172.20.0.0/14 for dn42.
