notice:

• if your os is windows, you should download openvpn and install it, it will install TAP-Windows which can create virtual network interface card(n2n edge need it). but, you can only install TAP-Windows.
• openvpn or TAP-Windows download page: https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/

edge parameters' explain:

-d <tun device> # name of virtual network interface card
-a <mode:address> # your local ip address assigned
-c <community> # private network name
-k <encrypt key> # password of private network
-l <supernode host:port> # supernode address
-m <MAC address> # your local mac address
-f # Do not fork and run as a daemon; rather run in foreground.

you can join a private network with your friends by:

1. same -l parameter, connect to same a supernode
2. same -c and -k parameters, you can understand as "open same a lock with the same key"
3. difference -a parameter, also difference -m parameter if you specified
4. difference -d parameter with your local existed network interface card
