I have tinc set up so that the connection is there and stable (getting the ping pong response when ran verbosely) but I can't seem to use the connection at all.

I can't ping the other server or anything else on their network and I don't even know where to start looking!

The virtual device doesn't show up in ifconfig which seems a little strange.

Any ideas on where to start?
 
Right, perhaps if I focus on the interface not appearing in the ifconfig output.

As I understand it, the interface name is set in /etc/tinc/VPN/tinc.conf with the value Interface = VPN

Where VPN is (in my case) both the name given to the connection AND the interface that should appear in ifconfig.

The value of the interface is set in tinc-up by ifconfig $interface 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0

assuming that the device wants to be able to broadcast to more than one segment with a broadcast address of 192.168.255.255
