  • Thanks.

    I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it’s similar to what tailscale does?

    Too bad my friends from Russia can’t connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.

    I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.

    Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?


  • If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?

    I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?

    In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?

    We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.




  • Depending on your phone / android version / launcher this cab mean different things I guess.

    On my phone (MIUI) a dot like that means this is a new app, after you launch it a few times using that icon (using icon, not by other means like jumping into app from a notification or via opening a link) that dot disappears.


  • Others told about snapdrop, sharedrop, localsend etc.

    But depending on what devices you are talking about, you might do with just an http server.

    I have a file manager on my (android) phone with a http server built in, and my laptop is connected to it via WiFi hotspot all the time. I just start a server on my phone and use a browser or any other download tool (curl, wget) to transfer files from my phone to my laptop.

    If you have python installed, you can run an http server on any device you have (for example, a laptop) via python -m http.server and access your files from any other device on the same network by manually typing your local IP into a browser.
