My issue is that many of my remote desktop apps require knowing the IP adress of the other PC. I’m looking for a VPN that auto-discovers other devices on the same network. That way I could just “ssh” into the same IP every time, because it would be IP inside of a virtual network. Ideally I am looking a solution that does not require internet connection.
Thanks.
Edit: I should probably specify my usecase. I have a portable desktop and use VNC from a laptop to connect to it. To do that I need the IP of the desktop but that’s different on a different network. This can be solved by using hostname.local as the “IP”. (hostname is the “ubuntu” in “bob@ubuntu$:~/Documents”) The solution is quite simple, I just haven’t known about it.
Ipv6, Nebula, headscale, tailscale
Headscale is a downstream of tailscale, meaning it has a fraction of the features and is maintained by Tailscale employees.
But great for less trust.
Tail scale is currently in the building goodwill phase of the startup, there will come a day when the enshitification starts
I mean, Github is literally the source of 2 operating systems I run. And most of my apps.
Yeah, but tailscale forces you to use logins from proprietary platforms, which is the reason I don’t use it. It doesn’t support a simple account creation and login with just an email and password.
AFAIK they allow custom OIDC providers now.
Really?? This is crazy.
Afaik headscale is the selfhosted server. You can likely login however you want.
