If you really cannot have the same port number for both TCP and UDP,
then the workaround is to add this to tinc.conf:

ListenAddress = * <TCP port>
ListenAddress = * <UDP port>

And in the host config file of that node:

Port = <UDP port>
Address = <public address> <TCP port>

This works for both tinc 1.0 and 1.1.
