Add the Forwarding option.

Browse source 
This determines if and how incoming packets that are not meant for the local
node are forwarded.  It can either be off, internal (tinc forwards them itself,
as in previous versions), or kernel (packets are always sent to the TUN/TAP
device, letting the kernel sort them out).

.It off
Incoming packets that are not meant for the local node,
but which should be forwarded to another node, are dropped.
.It internal
Incoming packets that are meant for another node are forwarded by tinc internally.

This is the default mode, and unless you really know you need another forwarding mode, don't change it.
.It kernel
Incoming packets are always sent to the TUN/TAP device, even if the packets are not for the local node.
This is less efficient, but allows the kernel to apply its routing and firewall rules on them,
and can also help debugging.
