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.
Thanks, it does indeed work. I guess I’ll add a wireguard tunnel so that I won’t have to bother with the “do you trust the fingerprint?” every time I’m on a different network or when the IP changes.
Actually I want to use the wireguard tunnel regardless because right now I am tunneling VNC through SSH, which is laggy because it’s TCP. But thanks either way.
