Server Mode
Like any other VPN server, you need to configure
iptables as following to make sure IP masquerading (or NAT) is enabled, which should be done only once. In the future, kytan will automate these steps. You may change <INTERFACE> to the interface name on your server (e.g. eth0):$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.10.10.0/24 -o <INTERFACE> -j MASQUERADE
