Simple Class A VPN Guide - Problems

[Donald Pearson]

As an example, one of the setups I ran was 2 sites, reach with a local /24.
 Tinc subnets were configured on each side with a /25 inside of the local
/24.  Any devices that you would wish to participate in the VPN, you'd
provision with an IP inside of the /25.  Otherwise provision it inside of
the /24.  The devices themselves would still use a /24 mask but the VPN
would only expose half of that range due to it's /25 configuration.

In that way for any one site, all local devices could communicate with all
other local devices, and 1/2 of the IP range of the remote site through the
VPN.
