A few weeks ago Rayfish was released and only worked on PCs. But today I checked and noticed V2 was out. I updated my V1 on my PC and then installed it on my phone.
I had to restart the network on my PC to refresh the VPN networks I had already created. I setup a searcXNG on my PC just to try some sort of server. Next I created a firewall rule for that port on the rayfish network and another rule for the network on my Linux firewall. On rayfish I created a network and an invite code for my phone. On the phone I entered the invite code and was immediately connected. I could then ping from my phone to my PC and viseversa.
Finally I searched for the PCs rayfish IP and just connected to it on my browser on the phone. That worked and I was happy. But then I turned off my WiFi on my phone and clicked refresh... A few seconds later the phone re-connected and I got to my searcXNG!
My outside IP is not fixed and I rely on Cloudflare. But none of my services are actually public and are not planned to be public. So now with rayfish I get a permanent IP for free regardless of what my actual IP is. The possibilities are endless.... Big big!
This is very cool! Yeah it's AI developed, but this is AI for us. It's clear and well defined for me, AI working for us is small potatoes vs AI the evil resource sucker spy tool. So let's take advantage. Specifically this project is great and solves my privacy issues with Cloudflare.
Bug Maybe I'm putting it too simply. Any thoughts on this?
