Dragit peer scope? #14

Closed Winterhuman closed 3 years ago

Do you intend to extend Dragit to allow file sharing across different networks or is it mDNS and local networks only to keep it simpler to use and understand?

Hi @LynHyper! My primary plan is to keep Dragit working on local networks only, that's why I used mDNS. Your assumption is correct - it's for simplicity of the protocol. When I need to share files across different networks, I usually use vlan tools like hamachi and this covers most of my use cases.

By the way, sending data across networks would be cool, but first I'd like to solve problem of device compatibility (like make Dragit working on the browser).

I see, I guess your right that a VPN would allow Dragit to work across devices in otherwise separate network, I am very interested in your attempts to make Dragit work within the browser. I'll close this issue then.
