pwnat VS localsend

you are correct it has been a while since my starlink was active but check this out it sounds like a possible solution although a small vps with a tunnel would also work but this seems to be serverless http://samy.pl/pwnat/

Here is another method to study https://github.com/samyk/pwnat

You can try this... https://samy.pl/pwnat/ not sure if it handles double nat, which is common these days, but might be worth trying.

maybe check out http://samy.pl/pwnat/

I remember when I was a kid using Moxie Marlinspike's SSLStrip to mitm some friends, not to mention setting up pwnat so I could connect back to my home computer from a linux computer at school. https://samy.pl/pwnat/

I agree and get your point.

But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.

I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google.

Something to consider, although I'm not sure how much it practically matters.

It works like a charm, and is really easy to use

Use local send to send files and folders.

I've recently discovered and can recommend LocalSend. It's FOSS, cross-platform, and it just works. Github page with more details here

Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use.
