Hi there! I'm super-happy because I've just finished my semi-auto configurator for Windows machines ^^ I've got a question: must all the users of a VPN share all together their hosts files? i.e. PC1 is linked to PC2 -> PC1 and PC2 must have both /hosts/PC1 and hosts/PC2 PC2 is linked to PC3 -> PC2 and PC3 must have both /hosts/PC2 and /hosts/PC3 Must PC3 have /hosts/PC1 and PC1 have /hosts/PC3? Thanks :D

Only those nodes that actually make connections need the host file of their peers. It's been a while since I set up a tinc network though :) Wouter van Heyst -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
