For nodes behind a firewall, you might need to add "TCPOnly = yes" to the host
config files of those nodes.

(NAT handling will be improved in tinc 1.0.10.)

The TunnelServer option is an experimental feature, and a lot of bugs in it
have been found (but will be fixed in 1.0.10). But if you have only two hosts,
you do not need this option.
