Troubleshooting on OS X

[Ned Twigg]

> kextload /Library/Extensions/tun.kext/

I didn't have a /Library/Extensions/tun.kext/ on my machine.  I googled
around, and downloaded and installed from http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/.
Not sure why the macports install didn't work, but it seems I'm making
progress.

Now I get this:
> sudo tincd -n dpsf -D -d3
tincd 1.0.21 (Feb  3 2015 20:09:36) starting, debug level 3
/dev/tun0 is a Generic BSD tun device
Executing script tinc-up
ifconfig: interface dpsfVPN does not exist
Script tinc-up exited with non-zero status 1
Listening on 0.0.0.0 port 655
Ready
Trying to connect to dpserver001 (71.202.38.86 port 655)
Connected to dpserver001 (71.202.38.86 port 655)
Sending ID to dpserver001 (71.202.38.86 port 655)
... (lots of stuff, but I can't ping through the VPN)

So then I tried changing the interface in my conf.vpn to tun0, but then I
get

> sudo tincd -n dpsf -D -d
tincd 1.0.21 (Feb  3 2015 20:09:36) starting, debug level 1
/dev/tun0 is a Generic BSD tun device
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required
Script tinc-up exited with non-zero status 1
... (lots of stuff, but ping doesn't work).

I tried Spencer's suggestion re: the FAQ http://tinc-vpn.org/faq/#index5h3

> ifconfig tap0 10.0.0.13
ifconfig: interface tap0 does not exist
> ifconfig dpsfVPN 10.0.0.13
ifconfig: interface dpsfVPN does not exist
> ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.13
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required

Thanks for the help, I think I'm closer!  Any ideas for next steps?
