Please help debug Windows setup

[Adam Macielinski]

Thanks.  I played with it some more, and finally got it working.  I am willing to write up a detailed how-to, including screen shots, if you guys are interested.  Just tell me in what format you want the write-up.



Cheers,

Your port forward needs to point to the ip address of the ethernet interface not the tap interface. Also, the subnet you are using for the VPN are public addresses. You should use different subnet. Look up private address space.

Hi - Thanks to Sven-Haegar and Donald, but still having issues setting up with Windows.  Machine1 can't ping the VPN address of machine2.



Regular IPv4 address for both machines in 192.168.1.xxx range.



Router:

Forwarding port 655 to 101.102.103.1, UDP and TCP

Forwarding port 656 to 101.102.103.2, UDP and TCP



Tinc.conf on machine user1 just three lines:



Name = vpnuser1

ConnectTo = vpnuser2

Interface = TincVPN



TAP adapter (TAP-Windows Adapter V9) named TincVPN, and configured to 101.102.103.1 / 255.255.0.0



Tinc.conf on machine user2 just three lines:



Name = vpnuser2

ConnectTo = vpnuser1

Interface = TincVPN



TAP adapter (TAP-Windows Adapter V9) named TincVPN, and configured to 101.102.103.2 / 255.255.0.0



Hosts folder on both machines contains two files:



vpnuser1

Address = xyz.ddns.net<http://xyz.ddns.net>

Port = 655

Subnet = 101.102.103.1/32<http://101.102.103.1/32>

--RSA KEY--



vpnuser2

Address = xyz.ddns.net<http://xyz.ddns.net>

Port = 656

Subnet = 101.102.103.2/32<http://101.102.103.2/32>

--RSA KEY--



I've confirmed that xyz.ddns.net<http://xyz.ddns.net> has the correct IP address (matches the WAN address of the router), and is set up as "DNS Host (A)".  Tinc service on both machines is running.  RSA keys generated on each of machines user1 and user2.  Local Windows firewalls allow incoming UDP and TCP traffic on all ports and IP addresses.



Any idea on how can I debug this thing?  Seems so close, but so far away.  Appreciate all thoughts.



Cheers,

Adam

BindToAddress = 192.168.1.45 655
Subnet = 192.168.1.45

You should use different IP ranges for inside the VPN and outside of it
- otherwise your OS does not now how to reach the destination IP
correctly.

So for example change the Subnet statements to 192.168.2.x
