I gave tinc1.0pre3 a test after the modifications you have done today. It insists that it is still 1.0pre2 but this is due to the fact the you used "1" as tag for configure.in rather than "CABAL". Anyway - results were not much more successful than yesterday: *** SERVER side log file from startup until sone seconds after connection was established *** Jun 25 21:14:30 lemon

Hello everybody, I'm setting up my first virtual private network and I can't get thru with this problem.

I installed Tinc and started on two mashines. both connect and say everything is OK. But then when I try to ping through the VPN I get the following errors in syslog: on server: rtr-us tinc.vpn_net[911]: Metadata socket read error for BG_VPN (x.x.x.x - inet ip of client): No such process and on client ns tinc.vpn_net[301]: Incoming data socket error: Connection refused what does it mean as on my

Hi, I have some questions about running multiple tinc deamons. The docs say you can do it to support separate VPNs, but I don't see any examples. I have been running a single tinc vpn for months with no problems, now I'm trying to add a second separate vpn. I'm running the static tinc version 1.0pre7 (built Apr 9 2002 14:00:34, protocol 14) on Debian potato. I did not want to go

A couple days ago with help from Guus I got my basic setup running. I played and switched around parameters, modes, subnets etc and always got things working in each config. Trying to move on, I only just now realised that for what I ultimately want to do, I would have to make every machine in my office LAN a tinc node, which I’m not allowed to. I’m allowed to build up a “tinc gateway” (can be

I've been running tincd on several machines without a problem. I'm now setting up a new intel-type dual-processor machine, with a custom compiled 2.4.9 linux kernel.

Beste tinc-developer, Ik moet van mijn baas een aantal VPN's aanleggen en ben nu thuis bezig om te testen. Ik heb 2 computers in een thuisnetwerkje (totaal 6 computers) geinstalleerd met SuSe 7.3, daar de klanten dit ook hebben. De computers zijn verbonden met een switch. Dit is de inhoud van mijn bestanden: Op computer 1 genaamd suse met ip 192.168.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0

Howdy, I tried tackling this on irc with Ivo, but I suspect that irc may really not be the best medium for technical discussions, so I'll reprise it here. I am trying to duplicate the "tinc from behind a masquerading firewall" example from the tinc web site: (home) <--> (masquerading firewall) <--> (office) 192.168.1.21 192.168.1.1/1.2.3.4

I'm probably thinking way too hard on this... but I've already got a headache. I've setting up a VPN for a client between two sites. Someone had recommended vtun, so I gave it a try. I was VERY put off by the lack of decent documentation. I _think_ I got a VPN set up between the two sites, but it wasn't working right and I gave up because the documentation sucked. So, then I

Hi! Me and two friends are trying to get a VPN working, but we cant get routing between two tunnels. This is how it looks, all servers (192.168.*.1) are running IP Masquerade to enable the other computers behind them to access the internet. Both elayne and glenn are connecting to melc, and the tunnel between melc and glenn are running TCPOnly because that glenn doesnt have a public IP (it's

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
