How to connect OurNet using Tinc on Linux (Debian based)

Run from the superuser:

apt install tinc
mkdir -p /etc/tinc/ournet/hosts

Download the keys and configs from the OurNet Dashboard and put them accordingly:

tinc.conf -> /etc/tinc/ournet/tinc.conf
rsa_priv.key -> /etc/tinc/ournet/rsa_priv.key
server_01 -> /etc/tinc/ournet/hosts/server_01
server_02 -> /etc/tinc/ournet/hosts/server_02
server_03 -> /etc/tinc/ournet/hosts/server_03

Make tinc-up and tinc-down files in /etc/tinc/ournet/

tinc-up:

#!/bin/sh
ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap
ip link set tap0 up
ip addr add 10.41.XX.XX/16 dev tap0

INSTEAD OF 10.41.XX.XX USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FROM THE DASHBOARD

tinc-down:

#!/bin/sh
ip addr del 10.41.XX.XX/16 dev tap0
ip link set tap0 down
ip tuntap del dev tap0 mode tap

INSTEAD OF 10.41.XX.XX USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FROM THE DASHBOARD

Make them executable:

chmod +x /etc/tinc/ournet/tinc-up
chmod +x /etc/tinc/ournet/tinc-down

Run the tinc:

tincd -n ournet -D &

Make sure the IP address has been assigned to your tap0 interface:

ip a|grep -A4 tap

Should looks like that, where right of "inet" is your IP address:

40: tap0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e2:38:3f:69:e1:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.41.XX.XX/16 scope global tap0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

If there no IP address, but tincd is running, you can assign it manually:

ip a a 10.41.XX.XX/16 dev tap0

INSTEAD OF 10.41.XX.XX USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FROM THE DASHBOARD

if you want to stop the Tinc, use the following:

killall tincd

ps aux |grep tincd

find the process id of tincd and then kill:

kill -9 123456

INSTEAD OF 123456 PUT THE REAL PROCCESS ID FORM THE ps aux |grep tincd COMMAND

You can also setup autostart scripts as you wish or use systemd units to run tinc.
