Setting up simple routing for all trafic of one host through another
Hello dear tinc users, I've been looking for a while now for a solution in the mailing list and maybe I'm guiltily too lazy to learn all that there is to know about Linux routing and that's why I'm still stuck. To get right to it: I have 2 hosts connected with tinc - one of them is a VPS with a public address and static IP address and the other is my desktop machine, both run Linux. I've set up tinc in both of these hosts so that I can connect to each of them through their tinc address. I would like however, to make my desktop machine route all it's traffic through the VPS host. My tinc interface is called doronbehar and this is the output of `ip route` on the VPS: default via 54.37.204.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 54.37.204.184 metric 1024 10.0.0.0/24 dev dns0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.1 54.37.204.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 54.37.204.184 metric 1024 192.168.0.0/24 dev doronbehar proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 The VPS' tinc IP address is 192.168.0.2 and the desktop host's tinc IP address 192.168.0.1. I tried to make all traffic coming from 192.168.0.0/24 on the VPS go to the VPS' gateway 54.37.204.1 with this command: sudo ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 54.37.204.1 dev doronbehar But I get this error: Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway. What Am I missing? Additionally, I'm not so sure I'll successfully continue after this step - regarding running the right commands on my desktop host so I'll be thankful for any help in this as well.

You also need a route so tinc still uses your ISP gateway. That's described at https://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/redirect-gateway/. On the gateway VPS, you need to enable forwarding, and then setup SNAT in iptables.
