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.

    Thanks, it does indeed work. I guess I’ll add a wireguard tunnel so that I won’t have to bother with the “do you trust the fingerprint?” every time I’m on a different network or when the IP changes.

      If you use the .local syntax, and the device name stays the same, I think the domain name based fingerprint should prevent the “do you trust this fingerprint” problem.

      If you want to avoid the question all together, you could set up an SSH certificate authority (quick guide here, less dense guides are available on the internet). By signing the servers’ host keys, you can prevent the trust on first use prompt entirely, even for servers you may not have logged into before.
