Tinc was working just fine, then it suddenly stopped connecting this week with the error:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">Connection refused</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">Could not set up a meta connection</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;">I’ve run ‘tincd -n myvpnname -D -d5’ to debug and I get this in the log:</div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><br class=""></span></div></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">2017-11-02 02:36:06 tinc[1626]: Cannot open config file /etc/tinc/tinc.conf: No such file or directory</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">2017-11-02 02:36:06 tinc[1626]: Failed to read `/etc/tinc/tinc.conf': No such file or directory</span></div></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">While that is indeed correct, there’s no tinc.conf in my tinc directory, I’m confused why it’s even trying to read from that directory when I’ve specifically given it the name command. All of my files in /etc/tinc/myvpnname/ and /etc/tinc/myvpnname/hosts/ are exactly the same as they were when it worked last week. This log is consistent on both the machine that’s connecting and the one that’s being connected to. </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Any help would be greatly appreciated.</div></body></html>
