A virtual network shared between multiple edge nodes in n2n is called a _community_. A single supernode can relay multiple communities and a single computer can be part of multiple communities at the same time. An encryption key can be used by the edge nodes to encrypt the packets within their community.

**IMPORTANT** It is strongly advised to choose a custom community name (`-c`) and a secret encryption key (`-k`) in order to prevent other users from connecting to your computer. For the privacy of your data sent and to reduce the server load of `supernode.ntop.org:7777`, it is also suggested to set up a custom supernode as explained below.
