▲ 9 ▼ Which server setup for kids and friends? (discuss.tchncs.de) submitted 3 months ago by ratzki@discuss.tchncs.de to c/luanti@lemmy.zip 10 comments fedilink hide all child comments Hey, does anybody host a server for players outside the home network? At home, we have the server running of the "player 1" laptop and connect via local IP. For external players, I am hesitant to expose our network and am considering a VPS. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Feel like the current gen does not understand their way around computers and potential risks. Only know how to use a tablet and use highly processed content 😄 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago* (1 child) Why would it require that you trust the end devices? If that is the case you are configuring it wrong. Just set it up to only route traffic that matches the IP address of the server. You could use pure wireguard or something like Netbird. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ratzki@discuss.tchncs.de [S] 2 points 3 months ago I thought that I only want to have trusted devices for any access to the home network. Of course I can only allow restricted access, so got your point. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent
