On the server side, it is possible to use iptables to make it appear that tinc
listens on multiple ports. For example, if tinc listens on 8080 but you also
want it to accept conections on port 443, use:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination :8080
On the client side, you can put multiple Address statements in hosts/server,
like this:
Address = address.of.server.org 8080
Address = address.of.server.org 443
I hope this helps. In the future, it might be that I'll extend the
BindToAddress option to also allow a port number to be specified.
