@cindex ConnectTo
@item @strong{ConnectTo = <name>}
Specifies which host to connect to on startup. Multiple ConnectTo
variables may be specified, if connecting to the first one fails then
tinc will try the next one, and so on. It is possible to specify
hostnames for dynamic IP addresses (like those given on dyndns.org),
tinc will not cache the resolved IP address.
Specifies which other tinc daemon to connect to on startup.
Multiple ConnectTo variables may be specified,
in which case outgoing connections to each specified tinc daemon are made.
The names should be known to this tinc daemon
(i.e., there should be a host configuration file for the name on the ConnectTo line).
If you don't specify a host with ConnectTo, regardless of whether a
value for ConnectPort is given, tinc won't connect at all, and will
instead just listen for incoming connections.
If you don't specify a host with ConnectTo,
tinc won't try to connect to other daemons at all,
and will instead just listen for incoming connections.
