Rayfish · Your own private network. No servers, no setup.
rayfish.xyz
Rayfish is a peer-to-peer mesh VPN. Connect your devices by cryptographic identity. No port forwarding, no hosted server to trust. Share a code, and you're on the same encrypted LAN.

Today I fumbled thru the install of Rayfish and Yggdrasil. Both are awesome, but Rayfish was so much easier to install and use.

Have you tried these yet?

Here’s the Yggdrasil link:

https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/

Yggdrasil has Android, Windows, Linux, Apple installers.

Rayfish only works on desktop right now, but hopefully soon they will be able to get it on Android.

    f you’re using ipv6 supposedly you don’t need to forward ports.

    You don’t need to forward ports but you still need to maintain network rules for each port so you can get through the firewall. And those rules need to know IPs. And if your public IPv6 prefix changes you need to update the rules.

    So, really, there’s no advantage over forwarding, on the contrary, since forwarding uses private IPs which you can make static so they never change.

    Some router software like OpenWRT attempts to work around this issue by using a special “minus netmask” shorthand syntax for the network rules, for example ::2/-64 means you want to reach [whatever the dynamic prefix is right now]::2. Which assumes you’ve set things up so that a certain machine always gets static suffix ::2, which means that machine does not do MAC anonymization and can use DHCPv6, which excludes all Android and iOS devices. So it can be used with Linux servers for example but with a lot of caveats.
