I’ve just started hosting stuff and i’ve been using frp’s stcp to make stuff accessible when i’m at school. I was wondering if I should bother setting up/switching over to wireguard which is apparently the way to go?
You must log in or register to comment.
never heard about stcp nor i see something called like that in their github repository
Does it have authentication?
For safety i’d add an additional layer of authentication. Easy way: cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnel; hard mode: authelia + a reverse proxy
You didn’t expose it to the internet right? Right?
Use Netbird and a network share. I don’t know what stcp is but I would go with SMB or syncthing
uh, i did?
can u explain why its a bad idea?
Anything on the internet gets hammered. As soon as there is any sort of vulnerability you are compromised.
You don’t need to take that risk
From the link in the post it’s a reverse proxy backed by terminos which is a secure OS for kubernetes and is really good, so I imagine this proxy is also really good. So OPs setup is already likely fine as is.
Still why risk it? It seems like there are better ways to do this
How are you using Netbird in your setup if I may ask?
How? I install the client and use ACLs
What are ACLs? And do you use the self hosted or the hosted option?
You don’t need ACLs for small stuff (access control lists, they are used for least privilege) all you need to do is to install the client in each machine and then those machines can talk as if they were on the same network.
If you wanted to access device C from device B running Netbird you could also use the routing feature to route traffic as if you were on the local network. You also can use the VPN feature if you want to get the same experience as if you were at home.
Thank you very much! Can you link to a noob-friendly guide for all the features Netbird offers?
If its working for you and you trust the project, no need to change.
I had never heard of it, it actually looks really cool.
