Bridging on windows networks

[Anon]

ALBI,

Thanks for the help.

Nothing I'm trying is working, yet.

Perhaps we can simplify it?

Let's bridge only one network, but leave the other two nodes (and
their respective
networks) alone.  Hence, the IP addresses of the four computers I'm
trying to put on
a single vpn would be

10.20.30.1/192.168.0.155
xxxxxxxxxx/192.168.0.168
10.20.40.1/192.168.1.155
10.20.50.1/192.168.2.155

Based on what you wrote, I should add the following to 192.168.0.168:

route ADD 10.20.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.155

I should then modify all three hosts file on
10.20.30.1/192.168.0.155 to add:

Subnet  192.168.0.0/24

I prefer to do things one step at a time (connect one LAN to the existing
vpn).  That way I understand the process a little better.

I think I'm close, but the above doesn't work. :(

Yes. Sorry, didn't know that windows doesn't allow this. I normally use
linux and there this is no problem. When I used windows, it was another
network, so I never had this problem.


Ok, lets try another way. Leave all as it works now.
If you use switch mode, I prefer router mode in tinc.conf
Don't know it will work in switch mode too.

Add your local subnet in your hosts files:
At tinc host 10.20.30.1
Subnet = 192.168.0.0/24
At tinc host 10.20.40.1
Subnet = 192.168.1.0/24
At tinc host 10.20.50.1
Subnet = 192.168.2.0/24

Add static route to your tinc and other computers at local network for
192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
For lan1 this should be something like:
route ADD 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0  192.168.0.155
Maybe you need to add 10.20.0.0/255.255.0.0 too. Add it, should be better.
route ADD 10.20.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0  192.168.0.155
On lan2 replace 192.168.1.155 for 192.168.0.155
Check if your tinc host has routing actvated.
Try to ping 10.20.30/40/50.1 from local computer in lan1
Try to ping 192.168.1.xxx from local computer in lan1


I hope it works.
Now that I see what to do, I would not use 10.* network at all. Would be
easier to use on network for transfer (tinc hosts) maybe in
192.168.255.0/24 network and just use one ip for every tinc host. Rest via
routing like above.
