You need to have XCode and MacPorts.
1) Install XCode from Apple site or it can also be obtained from original OSX installation DVD.
2) Install MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/)
3) After Macports is installed, close and reopen your terminal. Update the ports system and ports list.
sudo port selfupdate sudo port sync
This command will install tinc and all the necessary dependancies.
sudo port install tinc
Configuration files are located in /opt/local/etc/tinc
Tinc can now be configured and executed.
3) Tinc on OS X looks for configuration files in /usr/etc/tinc but we will place the configuration for Ninux VPN into /Library/tinc directory. Navigate to your home directory and create configuration folders for Ninux so type:
mkdir -p Library/tinc/ninux
4) You will need to create the following files and folders within:
Tinc.conf in which you have to put this lines:
Name = yournickname ConnectTo = Norimberga Mode = switch Device = /dev/tap0
tinc-up in which you have to put this lines:
ifconfig $INTERFACE HEREYOURIPADDRESS/24 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.1.255 ifconfig $INTERFACE mtu 1350
Where in place of HEREYOURIPADDRESS you must put the IP address choosen on http://wiki.ninux.org/GestioneIndirizzi
tinc-down in which you have to put this lines:
ifconfig $INTERFACE down
hosts/Norimberga in which you have to put this lines:
Address = svn.ninux.org -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- MIIBCgKCAQEA30bZWtIej9kj837Eb8C+nxvEXfy4Jly41tuJYfzpJiP/pTQGaPyF XDEdfwAq8qJpfLaRfKl0pQ9rbDo4zjSlNW8e/5BxTnobXHcvSD9sm8bNAME2qBkI plmeWt4RvDmEKDrJWyUIoyKyaTcCkXpfHslTJSBBj7TSjYX9SCfTkSS3GjNDWMjc C02i2+ZB3balcR+Ea046l/GVFp0htxrUFxew5RDXPmmaiQRF6cpm3fMNtdq9ixz+ uJNjmfHW/lHk4KMUj6KMLca9mS4TWsFxLYmP0jZi7lD2hA3dNCW4nua8HHYPwj+X Mh/vucAMckowzaf+51bGD+o8HVuM1hm4TwIDAQAB -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
hosts/yournickname in which you have to put your public key (see below)
5) Make sure tinc-up and tinc-down are executable:
chmod +x tinc-up tinc-down
6) You will also need to generate pair of keys (private/public) for your client. Do it only after the above files are configured properly! You will be asked for locations of certain files. The default locations are fine.
sudo tincd -c ~/Library/tinc/ninux -K
put your public key into your /hosts/yournickname file.
7) Once you are done send an email to zioproto@gmail.com with your Nickname choosen at point 4 and your generated public key so we can authorize you in the VPN server.
10) Once you received notification that your public key is authorized you can try to connect
sudo tincd -c ~/Library/tinc/ninux --pidfile=/var/run/tincd.pid -D --debug=1
If everything worked out you can ping 10.0.1.1. Now configure olsr to use the interface "tap0"
To stop the client you can kill it be executing:
kill -9 'cat /var/run/tincd.pid'
