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!

    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.

      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!
