It works very well. I have a dozen of vm’s connected to a couple of VM’s on 2 physical nodes. Those VM’s on the physical nodes are connected via a 2nd interface to an openvswitch bridge on which those physical nodes provide the connection outside. As extra thing, all tinc nodes are in the same /24.</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ; "><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ; ">But now I need to change my laptop (MacOS big sur) to router mode to use the utun device. The utun device doesn’t allow to work in switch mode. But would this work when I combine modes? And if not what changes would I need to make to keep the current setup with the bridges on the physical nodes in tact? Or almost intact?</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ; "><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ; ">Best regards,</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ; "><br></div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><span>
