You are using switch mode, so you should either bridge the tinc interface with
the LAN interface, set up proxy-ARP or manually add gateway routes so that
packets from donald to irfan's LAN get forwarded by irfan's OS. Alternatively,
don't use switch mode if you don't really need it.

But what kind of loopback errors are you getting?
