Install Tinc in iPhone / iPad.

[Ramses II]

Hi Mike,

Very thanks by to compile and put it in your web.

I have downloaded it and installed in my iPhone.

It appear that all is correct, but I can't do Ping to the IP Address of my ppp0 interface.

I execute the following command:

/usr/sbin/tincd -d2 --logfile=/var/log/tinc.log

If we see the log, all appear that is correct:

---------------------------------
iPhone4:/ root# cat /var/log/tinc.log

If we see the interfaces:

We see that the interface ppp0 has the IP Address 192.168.250.253/32, but when I try to do Ping to this IP, don't works.

The configuration is as follow:

#Mode = switch
DeviceType = tunemu
Device = /dev/null
Interface = ppp0

#Para el iPhone
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.250.253 192.168.250.253 netmask 255.255.255.255
route add -net 192.168.250.0 192.168.250.253
---------------------------------

Any idea about why not work?

Best regards,
