Right. But bridging with a local LAN would be impossible, and as I need
broadcast for other applications as well, this is not an option.

I didn't try it, but something tells me this will not help a lot at
makin local discovery work. Correct me if I am wrong.

For now, I went with the iptables solution and discovery is no longer
made on the tunnel. However, for some reason Tinc stopped doing local
discovery completely - I do not see any broadcasts on the LAN. I simply
set LocalDiscovery = yes in tinc.conf, but no broadcasts seem to happen.

Any hints?
