+To make using a VPN easier, nodes can be named so that their name can be used instead of their address.
+
+This can be done by editing `/etc/hosts`:
+
+    $> sudo nano /etc/hosts
+
+For each node a line with 
+    
+    IP-ADDRESS  NAME
+
+needs to be added (e.g. `10.0.0.1 node1.vpn`).
+
+It is a good idea to add a common suffix to all nodes of one vpn like `.vpn`.
