tinc detects itself on the VPN due to intermittent connection problems, and dies
A relatively recent update (1-2 months) has introduced a fairly major issue where connection issues seem to cause tinc to decide that there's another node of the same name on the VPN, leading to it quitting. It seems that it's detecting itself somehow, through an older connection, perhaps? The daemon stopping itself is a major problem, though, as it has to be manually restarted. I would report this on the bug tracker, but I'm unable to find a link to one on the website.

Could you send me the log output from tinc when that happened, and also the log output after doing "tincd -n <netname> -kUSR2"? That would help me find out what is causing the incorrect behaviour.> I would report this on the bug tracker, but I'm unable to find a link to > one on the website.There is no bugtracker, reporting it here on the mailing list is the correct thing to do. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus at tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
