Heroes III over tinc?

[Mike Bentzen]

Hi Viktors,

You can play anything with TINC. It acts as a real network.
I am guessing that Heros III is a game that requires a broadcasting or IPX.

If this is the case......
You will need to set TINC into "switch" mode so it also handles non IP 
traffic.

The difference between Router mode and Switch mode is that switch mode 
dynamically creates a routing table and maintains an ARP cache.
Switch mode supports unicast, multicast and broadcast packets. But be 
warned, this will probably increase bandwidth somewhat, due to ARP 
requests and routing table updates.

I only use switch mode because of the ability to broadcast.

To set up your VPN to support this, check out the Mode = key in the 
documentation.

Kind Regards,

Mike
