Ipchains rules (masquerading only, tinc runs on the router):

Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
target     prot opt     source                destination           ports
MASQ       all  ------  192.168.0.0/24       anywhere              n/a
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

I hope you van help me solve this.
Having a VPN would help us a lot!
