similar to: Help with 'switch' mode

Guus: Thank you for your explanation! My confusion was based on my misunderstanding of the tun/tap device - I thought it was exactly like a pcap device, and therefore should've "just worked" in that mode. So, once you explained how the tun/tap device actually worked, the use of bridges immediately made sense. I was then able to setup bridges on my single interface linux

Hello, I've been trying to get bridging working on os x for about a week and haven't been able to do it. I've exhausted the examples and google and just can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated, as I'm about to give up :( The goal is to join our two 192.168.1.x networks and share a large 192.168.1.x network between the two of us. Our setup is as follows:

Hello, I have a time-series of standards measured for Refractive index. They are daily standards, however, I didn't run one everyday so some days have no data. I can plot the values, but the x-axis does not represent the correct time series (i.e. it's just an evenly spaced 1,2,3 type axis). I want to plot the points with some form of representitive date line on the x-axis. I don't

Hi Lars Thank you for reply.

Hello Mads, In case you never saw any mail from me, I'm tinc's co-author. It would be helpful if you'd subscribe to the tinc developpers mailing list. It's not high volume, but it eases communication. There's a problem with tinc's boot scripts (at least the debian one, but that's fixed now). The netmask of the tap devices should be larger than the one specified with

Hello to everybody, Sorry if my english isn?t very good. I need pass 802.1q through a VPN between two offices. I have mounted a WRT54GL, with OpenWRT firmware, conected to a switch trunk port in both offices. In the switch of the first office I have created five tagged VLANs and I need pass these VLAN to the second offices where it has created it too. Can I do this with Tinc in HUB/Switch

Hi all and greetings from Australia, I am looking at a suitable VPN to secure a wireless notebook hanging off a private, wired network. Is tinc suitable for this? specifics: "notebook" 192.168.205.63 "AProuter" (access point/computer that the notebook will connect to): 192.168.205.31 What numbers should I give to the various nodes? At this stage, only one notebook VPN:ed

Hi, I am trying to access devices (ip cams) through clients using the tinc vpn. Let's demonstrate the problem with two clients: client name [ip in eth0] [ip in tun0] gl752 (A) 192.168.1.33 10.0.0.1 xps13 (B) 192.168.1.55 10.0.0.2 I also have an ip camera connected to the local network at 192.168.1.21. I want to try a situation where I am accessing, from linux box

hi It was not working when i applied the rules on the vpn card. But I wondered if maybe bridging of vpn and eth0 was messing this up. I thought it was enough to only apply it to the vpn card root at JOTVPN:~# brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled    interfaces bridge 8000.000c29638a7e no           eth0                                                                   vpn so I tried the

@Etienne, I understood your explanation about the Subnet being the network *inside* the VPN, but the following the example https://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/proxy-arp/, it seems to have: Subnet = 192.168.1.0/24 for the office, yet the IP address for the office is 192.168.1.2. Is that example no longer valid or am I misunderstanding? On Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 4:01 PM, James Hartig <james at

No, this would in fact operate as a routing mode instead of bridging. TAP would be used as a means to push routing to where it belongs, the linux/bsd/... kernel. Consider the challenge of having completely dynamic routing between vpn peers. In one minute I might have 10000 routes towards one specific peer, and hour latter I might have NONE. And I need to diferentiate each peer at the kernel

I have to install a VPN between three places (A, B, C), the A is a Windows 2000 will be the VPN Server and the others are Windows98 and are the clients. B and C doesnt need to comunicate.I have the following questions and i would appreciate some help: 1) I only have to install tinc in the Server, or i have to install it in the clients too? 2) I read in the documentation that tinc is compatible

I just started to learn RoR because I need to create a relatively simple but important application due next month. The Shopping cart app in this book is going ok but I have a question. Is the complexity of the shopping cart example in this book representitive of a real world application? Note that i am not saying if the application is production quality, I mean the

I would like to clarify the email I sent yesterday. There are two ethernet segments in two different cities that I would like to operate as one logical network. Both physical lans have a switch/hub, a gateway with one external IP address that NATs traffic and can port forward tinc ports to the internal debian stable machine (where tinc is run), various client computers ('c' in the

Hi I am testing running tinc in switch mode. , my topology is as follows Site 1 (tinc-srv01) -> Site 2 (tinc-srv02) I have configured the bridge interfaces with ip addresses and able to ping between bridges. I then setup a server on each site and tested layer 2 connectivity between the two servers. Topology as follows. Server 1 - *Site 1* (tinc-srv01) -> *Site 2* (tinc-srv02) - Server 2

Hi Folks, This has been driving me nuts all day. I've been unable to google myself out of it. Maybe someone here can help? I followed the instructions from: http://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/macbook-install/ Ubuntu server <-> Ubuntu server works just fine with the same config. Ubuntu server <-> Mac laptop not so much. The error I'm getting is: 2012-04-10 21:48:44

You’re talking about Layer 2 bridging by Tinc? The use case here is layer 3 routing, but anyway, thanks for your feedback. > On 1 May 2017, at 8:09 PM, LowEel <loweel at gmx.de> wrote: > > I cannot understand why you say the configuration for B will be tricky. > > If you select the switch mode, and some machine can initiate a > connection to some other machine, until

Hi, I'd like to achieve the following: Network 1 is running with several nodes and port 655 Network 2 is running the same on port 655 Both networks are running independently and have no connection to each other. My support machine (network) should connect to both networks without bridging them (which I can handle through the firewall). But how about the port definition? Can I connect e.g.
