I have never setup a vpn before so this is all a bit new too me. I have Freebsd box each end ( 6x). I think i have tinc setup ok as i get this Got PING from firstw (84.45.223.116 port 6500): 8 Sending PONG to firstw (84.45.223.116 port 6500): 9 Sending 2 bytes of metadata to firstw (84.45.223.116 port 6500) I think that looks quite promising . An ifconfig on both machines gives me tun0: flags=8043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.27 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 inet6 fe80::202:b3ff:fee9:54f4%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 Opened by PID 67326 tun0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.201 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fee2:7a14%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 Opened by PID 17195 That is the same ip as the nic has but i gave it a bigger subnet as per docs. So i am just wonderign about the next step :) Thanks -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
