Tinc will exchange endpoint information over the network, so clients will connect directly to other clients without having to set up every connection explicitly. For example, if A is configured to connect to B, and C is configured to connect to B, then A can connect to C to exchange packets directly without you having to configure that. https://tinc-vpn.org/documentation-1.1/How-connections-work....

Tinc will also do a layer 2 tunnel if you want (tap) while wireguard is only layer 3 (no broadcast/multicast).

The big con of tinc (and most VPN solutions) compared to wireguard is performance. Wireguard is a small kernel module which can process traffic very fast.
