Hi Tinc Mailing Group, I've got Tinc-1.0pre3 set up on two Redhat Linux 6.2 / kernel 2.2.18 servers. It compiles okay, it reads the configuration files okay, it makes a valid connection between the two tincd daemons. However, it does not route data from one subnet to the other subnet. I will describe my setup below, and if anyone can suggest why it is not working, can they please reply to put

Hi Tinc group, I sorted out my tinc configuration problem, by myself. It turns out that I did not leave the netmask large enough when ifconfig-ing the tap devices. Now that is done and it is working fine. Telnet,ftp, windows networking, etc all pass through it, as expected. Regards, Gillian. - Tinc: Discussion list about the tinc VPN daemon Archive:

Hi Tinc Mailing-Group, After all the suffering I have finally sorted out the firewall rules, which has made Tinc work properly. Hurray!!! Looking through the mail archives on the Tinc web-site I spotted the following ipchains ruleset, which I then applied to the 'forward' chain in my rc.firewall. The vpn now works properly.... /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d

Hi Tinc group, I have recently got an adsl connection at home, which only provides a single static ip address. I want to set up a tinc vpn from home to my workplace. I am trying to decide what hardware I need to do the above. At the moment, I am aware that I could use an Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem directly connected to a Linux vpn box at my home. ( Wall socket---adsl cable---Speedtouch---usb

Hi Tinc Mailing-Group, Having set up the kernel correctly, and got tinc running successfully, I am now trying to get two VPNs running at once. Hence I need to have two ethertap devices ( /dev/tap0 and /dev/tap1 ). The first tap0 device was created thus: mknod -m 600 /dev/tap0 c 36 16 chown 0.0 /dev/tap0 The second tap1 device was created too: mknod -m 600 /dev/tap1 c 36 17 chown 0.0 /dev/tap1

Hi Tinc Mailing Group, I've been trying for some days now, to get tinc up and running. Could someone please suggest what I could do to get it working. I've installed Redhat 6.2 onto a pc, and then installed the latest 2.2 kernel: 2.2.18 from source code (The usual make menuconfig ; make dep ; make bzImage , etc). I've followed the tinc instructions for adding the

Hi Tinc Mailing-Group, I am a bit stuck with firewalling rules at the moment. Maybe someone could please advise me a good rc.firewall script to use on my setup. If anyone runs an ipchains firewall script on their linux box which is ALSO running tinc, could they please mail it to me, for my perusal. I have tinc pre3 set up and working on my systems, however I can only get it to work if I set the

Dear Tinc Experts, I have been struggling for some time now, with Tinc pre3, and firewall rulesets and routing. I did once manage to get Tinc to work okay in a test-bed environment. I then tried to set it up for a 'real-life' setup and cannot get it to work properly. My real-life setup looks like this: Network A: 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.7 tap1 device gateway >
