Dear mailing list,

How do I make Tinc auto start on Debian 8 Jessie?
I’ve compiled and installed the latest stable release tinc-1.0.33 and I’ve tried this:

nano /usr/local/etc/tinc/nets.boot
Added the netname of my vpn

sudo service tinc start

Should work according to:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-tinc-and-set-up-a-basic-vpn-on-ubuntu-14-04 <https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-tinc-and-set-up-a-basic-vpn-on-ubuntu-14-04>

But it doesn’t run on a reboot.

Also tried:

systemctl enable tinc
systemctl enable tinc at vpnname

But I run into errors

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tinc#Automatically_Starting_Tinc_at_boot <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tinc#Automatically_Starting_Tinc_at_boot>

What’s the official recommended way to run Tinc at startup on Debian?
Can’t find anything mentioned about this in the documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Jip
