Create a VPN network with some PC clients.

Hi to everybody,

I want create a VPN with some PC clients and only one server, instead of
LAN-to-LAN, but I'm not very sure how to do this.

For example, I need to have:

- Server LAN -------- (192.168.0.1/24) ---- tinc-VPN ---- (192.168.100.1/24)
- Client-01 LAN --- (192.168.50.1/24) ---- tinc-VPN ---- (192.168.100.10/24)
- Client-02 LAN --- (192.168.80.1/24) ---- tinc-VPN ---- (192.168.100.11/24)

Currently, I have this config in the server:

--------- tinc.conf ------------
Name = ServerA
----------------------------------
------------- tinc-up ----------
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
------------------------------------
----------- ServerA ----------
Subnet = 192.168.100.0/24
Address = 80.80.80.80
Compression = 10
-- key --
------------------------------------
----------- Client-01 ----------
Subnet = 192.168.101.0/24
Address = 80.80.80.81
Compression = 10
-- key --
------------------------------------

And I have this config in Client-01:

--------- tinc.conf ------------
Name = Client-01
ConnectTo = ServerA
----------------------------------
------------- tinc-up ----------
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.101.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
------------------------------------
----------- ServerA ----------
Subnet = 192.168.100.0/24
Address = 80.80.80.80
Compression = 10
-- key --
------------------------------------
----------- Client-01 ----------
Subnet = 192.168.101.0/24
Address = 80.80.80.81
Compression = 10
-- key --
------------------------------------

And the Client-02 is configured in the other VPN subnet.

If I put them both on the same subnet, evidently, it can not work in router
mode.

I need to build a VPN star but not LAN-to-LAN, only ServerA <---> PC-Client

There are somehow to do this with only one VPN subnet?

Best regards,

Ramses
