I read the first two and kinda gave up my dude. Here’s my deal. I get that it’s bad under the hood. What else can I use that lets me and a friend pretend we just have folders in each other’s computers with just a port forward, IP, and a password?
That’s not even the type of setup you should use. Use a VPN of the type designed for games and IoT stuff, like ZeroTier, n2n, and more. Then you set up a local file share using something like Samba, only accessible by the people who can connect to your local network via the VPN.
The public facing VPN code will be MUCH more hardened against attack than your typical sharing tool with port forwarding.
I’m less worried about attack than barriers to sharing.
ZeroTier is pretty easy to set up, but at the point where you’re worrying about “barriers to sharing” you should probably using a cloud service anyway.
