Have you checked tailscale? a one click wireguard, free for quite a lot of devices.

never heard about stcp nor i see something called like that in their github repository

Does it have authentication?

For safety i'd add an additional layer of authentication. Easy way: cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnel; hard mode: authelia + a reverse proxy

You didn't expose it to the internet right? Right?

Use Netbird and a network share. I don't know what stcp is but I would go with SMB or syncthing

How are you using Netbird in your setup if I may ask?

How? I install the client and use ACLs

theorangeninja , 8 days ago

What are ACLs? And do you use the self hosted or the hosted option?

possiblylinux127 , 8 days ago

You don't need ACLs for small stuff (access control lists, they are used for least privilege) all you need to do is to install the client in each machine and then those machines can talk as if they were on the same network.

If you wanted to access device C from device B running Netbird you could also use the routing feature to route traffic as if you were on the local network. You also can use the VPN feature if you want to get the same experience as if you were at home.

Thank you very much! Can you link to a noob-friendly guide for all the features Netbird offers?

uh, i did?

can u explain why its a bad idea?

Anything on the internet gets hammered. As soon as there is any sort of vulnerability you are compromised.

You don't need to take that risk
