Add the ListenAddress option.

Browse source 
ListenAddress works the same as BindToAddress, except that from now on,
explicitly binding outgoing packets to the address of a socket is only done for
sockets specified with BindToAddress.

If your computer has more than one IPv4 or IPv6 address, tinc
will by default listen on all of them for incoming connections.
Multiple BindToAddress variables may be specified,
in which case listening sockets for each specified address are made.
If no @var{port} is specified, the socket will be bound to the port specified by the Port option,
or to port 655 if neither is given.
To only bind to a specific port but not to a specific address, use "*" for the @var{address}.
This is the same as ListenAddress, however the address given with the BindToAddress option
will also be used for outgoing connections.
This is useful if your computer has more than one IPv4 or IPv6 address,
and you want tinc to only use a specific one for outgoing packets.

@item ListenAddress = <@var{address}> [<@var{port}>]
If your computer has more than one IPv4 or IPv6 address, tinc

This option can be used to restrict which addresses tinc listens on.
Multiple ListenAddress variables may be specified,

If no @var{port} is specified, the socket will listen on the port specified by the Port option,

@cindex LocalDiscovery

When enabled, tinc will try to detect peers that are on the same local network.
