On https://www.tinc-vpn.org/pipermail/tinc/2015-April/004092.html you say that encryption settings only affect outgoing packets -- is it somehow possible that it's the other way around?

I have 2 servers, A and B, running tinc, and A has encryption disabled in its config file, B has it enabled. On B, if I run iperf3 -c A (means B sends), it's fast, if I run with -R (means A sends), it's slow.

I can reproduce this when I switch A and B.

Answer from guus on IRC:

hm, you are correct, the Cipher/Digest options tell the remote node what algorithms to use to send packets.
