Tinc newbie here so apologies if this is obvious or has been discussed
already; I did search but couldn't find anything.
I'm testing tinc 1.1pre10 between a Windows 7 client and Linux server.
The Linux machine is on the internet and the Windows machine is on my
home network behind NAT. I have successfully configured a Linux client
on my home network to communicate with the server already so I know the
issue isn't the server or my network/NAT config.
When attempting to connect to the server, the Windows client throws a
"failed to decrypt record" error (output from tincd -D below). Something
instinctive is saying this is a key material problem -- originally I
copied and pasted the keys from notepad into my SSH session to transfer
them between machines, and I wondered if a non-printable character or a
Windows linebreak had snuck in and messed things up. However I've now
copied them directly between hosts using pscp.exe so I don't think it
can be that. I'm using both RSA and ECDSA keys, and I believe it
defaults to ECDSA usage in this version?
Any ideas appreciated! I can provide configs if necessary but this
didn't seem like a config problem, per se.
Cheers,
---tim
