Hello,
In some games the broadcast is only send on one interface...
If you want to use tinc for gaming you will need to have only 1 ethernet
interface.
For this you have to build a bridge between your local card and the tinc
virtual card.
With this you will have to setup all your local lan on the same network
that the vpn (in your case 10.0.0.0/24).
Take care on duplicate ip on all the network (your but the others to)
and for dhcp server... The dhcp will go through the vpn, and your dhcp
server can provide ip for people on other network.
It's the only way I have found to be able to play on all games through LAN.
