 * [restic](https://restic.net/):
 	Good command-line backup program.
 	You'll need to provide your own storage.
 * [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/):
 	Synchronizes folders across devices. Decentralized and easy to set up.
+* [tinc](https://tinc-vpn.org/):

+* [Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/):

+	Not many websites support FIDO though...
