    A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security

  • One solution is to run Nebula on both my laptop and the server. This establishes a persistent "overlay" network with its own addressing. I have my server export NFS over the Nebula interface, and the laptop uses the Nebula address to mount it. This way, the laptop can always mount the server's shares, regardless of where it is on the Internet relative to the server. Since the shares are always mountable, I can configure them in /etc/fstab and not worry about automounting.
