The problem is probably this: when tinc starts on the Mac, it adds an entry to
the routing table saying that traffic to 4.3.2.2 should go to the VPN
interface. Then it tries to make a connection to the Linux box, which has
public IP address 4.3.2.2. But because of the entry in the routing table, the
kernel sends that connection to the VPN interface instead of to the Internet.
I suggest you use a private IP address (say, 192.168.2.1) for the VPN interface
on the Linux box.
