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.
I don’t want to be mean but searching “DNS hostnames” just gives generic AI generated “DNS explained” articles. This answer is helpful only if you already know that mDNS exists.
Sorry was busy but wanted to make the comment at least earlier. I think .local is specific to mDNS, but using just the hostname (ie; mypcname) should work as well.
