Hi Today our Tinc network saw a network partition when we took one tinc node down. We knew there was a network partition since the graph showed a split. This graph is not very helpful but its what I have at the moment: http://i.imgur.com/XP2PSWc.png - (ignore node labeled ignore, since its a dead node anyways) - node R was shutdown for maintenance - We saw a network split - we brought node R

Thanks Guss, some comments and questions: If you make the yellow nodes ConnectTo all other nodes, and not have > AutoConnect = yes, and the other nodes just have AutoConnect = yes but > no ConnectTo's, then you will get the desired graph. The reason this approach is not desirable is because it fails at automation. It requires us to add a new line of AutoConnect = <new node that

Hi Guus Following your suggestion we reconfigured our tinc network as follows. Here is a new graph and below is our updated configuration: http://imgur.com/a/n6ksh - 2 Tinc nodes (yellow labels) have a public external IP and port 655 open. They both have ConnectTo's to each other and AutoConnect = yes - The remainder tinc nodes (blue labels) have their tinc.conf set up as follows:

Hi All, I see an unexpected beahviour from NetworkManager on CentOS 7.1. Using nmcli tool, I create a bond with two slaves as explained in the Red Hat 7.1 Networking guide. I enable slaves and master; bond works as expected. When I restart NetworkManager, it creates a new bond with the same name but not connected to any device. Two bonds with the same name is confusing for my other monitoring

Hi Guus Thanks for clarifying. Some follow up questions: - How do we patch 1.1pre14 with this fix? Or will there be a 1.1pre15 to upgrade to? - What is the workaround until we patch with this fix? Using a combination of AutoConnect and ConnectTo? - When we use ConnectTo, is it mandatory to have a cert file in the hosts/* dir with an IP to ConnectTo ? -nirmal On Tue, Aug 22, 2017 at 12:10

thanks Guus for the quick response. I am using tinc 1.1 if I use AutoConnect = yes then will it automatically remove connections that are no longer in use? What are the security issues with 'AutoConnect = yes' I should be worried? for my use case I might go upto 20 to 30 + tinc hosts connected to single tinc box. as per the doc AutoConnect = yes is experimental, I am using it in our

Hi, I was quite surprised to see commmit 332b55d4 ("Change AutoConnect from int to bool"). Is there experimental evidence supporting 3 as the hardcoded maximum number of meta-connections? If there is a good reason for this limit on the number of meta-connections, maybe it should apply whatever the value of AutoConnect (currently, it is only enforced when AutoConnect is on). We may

Hello, I want to know how works exactly the AutoConnect option, and what happen if we have more than 1000 nodes, with this option enabled. And another question is, how much stable is the version 1.1pre14 for production use. Thanks.

There will be an 1.1pre15, but if you want you can apply the following commit: https://tinc-vpn.org/git/browse?p=tinc;a=commitdiff;h=92fdabc439bdb5e16f64a4bf2ed1deda54f7c544 > - What is the workaround until we patch with this fix?

Hi Neil, Thanks for your comments. What's the purpose of creating spurious ?bond0?? It's confusing. Is it anywhere documented? Every time I restart NetworkManager it creates another bond0!

Thanks Guus I have one more question. - We see several log messages that we dont currently understand - Can you comment on what they mean and if they are concerning? I've obfuscated IP's and node names so please ignore those. Our tinc daemon command is: tincd -n <vpn name> -- Received short packet -- Got REQ_KEY from node003 while we already started a SPTPS session! -- Invalid
