<div>Hi tg,<br>
<br>
Bird is probably not what you need here as it looks like you just want to get two machines to talk to each other.<br>
<br>
You should look at OpenVPN or WireGuard as a means to create encrypted tunnels between them.<br>

Since you have only BGP protocol defined, BIRD knows nothing about any routes that could exist on your system. If you want to import local routes into BIRD you need to add some other protocols, usually it's 'device', 'direct' and 'kernel'.</div>
