If AutoConnect is enabled, then tinc will try to maintain at least 3
meta-connections to other nodes. It will randomly choose them from known
nodes for which it also knows a public key. If there are more than 3
meta-connections, it will close connections if that will not cause a
node to disconnect from the mesh.

You can still have regular ConnectTo variables in tinc.conf, so tinc
always tries to connect to those nodes first.
