Manually specify peer IP address #75

It would be useful to be able to manually "add" a host so that Warpinator can be used across subnets/broadcast domains. I don't think there is way to do this at present.

Background: I would like to be able to use Warpinator to transfer files from my laptop (WiFi) to my desktop (wired). Per security best-practice, my WiFi network is an entirely different subnet to my wired (trusted) network, to allow fine-grained control over what can be routed between them. This stops Warpinator from working.

This should be possible now as a result of https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator/commit/b9f17af46e52576d5fc0c084e6d7e6db67245f42.

I've got a few ideas regarding implementation but may not get to this until our next development cycle.

Hi! Any update on this issue?

I love warpinator but I find odd not being able to set it up to share files with hosts that I can actually reach through a few hops (or just one) in a local network. A "Manual Target IP Address" option would be great!

Not to beat a dead horse, any progress yet on communicating across subnets?

I run Linux Mint in a VM that uses Nat. This kills my ability to use Warpinator.

Sticking with https://syncthing.net

Syncthing works in a multiple subnet environment by using helper servers called discovery servers. Genius.

Please find some way to add subnets.

Thanks.
