Comment on Another good reason not to open port 22

  Well for PiVPN I just followed the docs to get it setup: docs.pivpn.io

  Then I port forwarded the port I use for Wireguard to that same port on my Pi with PiVPN on it.

  For Sunshine: docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/…/installation.html

  So now when I want to remotely access my gaming PC, I use Wireguard on my phone, use the configured PiVPN setup on there which points to the domain name that I have setup with my DDNS, then I use a Wake On Lan app setup with my gaming PC’s MAC address to wake it, then I just log into it with Moonlight like normal

    Isn’t port forwarding dangerous?

    Do you use Linux if so, are you on Wayland ?

      I use Linux Mint, so no Wayland, but Sunshine/Moonlight works on both X11 and Wayland, generally speaking.

        I tried 2 times. It required so many steps it was exhausting, after which I ended up with a half-working install. I just gave up.
