It's not secure to run a program as root. This page demonstrates how to run tinyfecVPN as non-root.

You must have setcap utility as a prerequisite. setcap is shipped with most desktop linux distributions by default. But its seems to be missing on OpenWRT/LEDE.

  1. grant tinyfecVPN CAP_NET_RAW capability
sudo setcap cap_net_admin+ep ./tinyvpn_arm

Done. Now you can run tinyfecVPN with any account.

It works for both client and server.
