NordVPN Meshnet offers seamless file sharing capabilities.
Hey there, I'm attempting to set up a shared network drive on my PC. It works fine on the local network and I can reach it from my phone, tablet, and main PC. But I want to make it available outside my home network, like a cloud storage solution. I've noticed NordVPN is active on all my devices and they mention a feature called Meshnet. It lets you connect devices and route them through each other, so you can access the machine. According to their description, it supports file sharing between devices. However, I'm having trouble getting the shared drive to show up on other devices when not connected to my home network. I've tried their live chat support, but they advised connecting both devices while using Meshnet. I'm a bit new to this and just want a workaround since I'm tired of paying for cloud storage each month.
I don't rely on Nord; I have to maintain it every day. Hackers typically compromise it using two approaches: 1) Disabling the Kill Switch, which I must turn off. 2) Altering the Resolv.conf settings. Running devices independently increases my chances of staying connected to the internet.
