Windows service tincd behaves different from command line tincd

[Henk van der Meer]

Hello Cobin,

Thank you for replying.
I was about writing you a reply to ask you how I could have forgotten to copy the public cert if it does work from the command line.

But the you started me thinking ☺

The service is running with different rights then the command line is.
So I changed the access rights to the tinc folder so that everybody can read it. And now it works.
This solution will do for my situation.

Thank you again,

Henk

Providing logs will greatly increase your chances of people helping you.

Do 'tincd -n VPNname -D -d2' or -d3 or -d4 until you see error messages, do this on both sides.

My common mistake is forgetting to copy the public cert to the other side.

Hello,

I have 4 VM’s running in Microsoft Azure. They all should have similar configurations except from their tinc ip addresses of course.
They run tinc 1.0.24. I have a 5th machine, my development machine.

I am able to ping all 4 VM’s from my computer when I start tinc from the commandline (tincd –n innomeer –D –d 2).
3 of the computers also work ok when running tinc as a service (tincd –n innomeer).
The 4th only works ok from the command line, but doesn’t allow me to ping it when it is running as a service.

As far as I can tell from the log information my machine and the VM running tinc as a service do connect, but ping just won’t work. I can’t tell from the log file what is wrong.

Can somebody tell me where I could look to see what is wrong?

Thank you,

Henk van der Meer
