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.

    What does that mean? What are you actually trying to do?
