Rayfish · Your own private network. No servers, no setup.
rayfish.xyz
Rayfish is a peer-to-peer mesh VPN. Connect your devices by cryptographic identity. No port forwarding, no hosted server to trust. Share a code, and you're on the same encrypted LAN.

Today I fumbled thru the install of Rayfish and Yggdrasil. Both are awesome, but Rayfish was so much easier to install and use.

Have you tried these yet?

Here’s the Yggdrasil link:

Yggdrasil has Android, Windows, Linux, Apple installers.

Rayfish only works on desktop right now, but hopefully soon they will be able to get it on Android.

    Both Rayfish and Yggdrasil are serverless and can traverse a NAT. So you can’t block them unless you unplug.

      No, they are trivial to block using techniques like deep package inspection.

      In addition to that, they aren’t truly decentralized (no decentralized network really is), both rely on relay/bootstrap servers to start up the connection. So, if you block the public relay/bootstrap servers, you effectively block access to the network.

      Tailscale, netbird also can traverse NAT.

      Iroh (the actually pretty interesting software which the vibecoded rayfish is based on) and Yggdrassil do have their uses, but evading blocks isn’t one of them.
