Thanks for the information - With this app, I have now tinc successfully
running on my android phone, too :-)

Only minor thing: It successfully connects to two tinc nodes "in the
internet", but fails to connect to the tinc node running on my router -
this one is only reachable indirectly via the other nodes.

This could be due to the phone using the wrong connection (it's connected
via cellular net and simultanously via wifi). Or it is some
misconfiguration on my part (firewall rules, public keys, ...)

regards,
Erich
