First VPN

Let's create our first vpn now and start it:

$> EDGEVPNTOKEN=$(edgevpn -b -g)
$> edgevpn --dhcp --api

That's it!

You can now access the web interface on http://localhost:8080.

To join new nodes in the network, simply copy the EDGEVPNTOKEN and use it to start edgevpn in other nodes:

$> EDGEVPNTOKEN=<token_generated_before> edgevpn --dhcp
