You cannot do this. MyOwnVPNIP's must NOT overlap. With MyOwnVPNIP you
tell a tinc daemon which IP addresses it sees as local. If you put /24
behind the address, it will see the entire network 192.168.111.* as local,
and it will never forward any packet with a destination in that range to
another tinc daemon.

You can either change /24 into /32, this will let the tinc daemons
communicate to each other, but only on two IP addresses. If you really
want to connect two different subnets, change the addresses accordingly,
and also increase VPNmask.
