This code was merged with tinc in 1.0.10. However, I just saw this message on
the OpenVPN mailing list:

There is code in tinc to sniff packets from an existing interface using a "raw
socket". I have not tested this on BSD yet. After running ./configure, you can
do this:

ln -sf raw_socket/device.c src/device.c

And then run make. You can then put "Interface = lo" in tinc-up, and it will
then indeed pick up packets routed to the loopback device.
