If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?
I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?
In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?
We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.
I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it's similar to what tailscale does?
Too bad my friends from Russia can't connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.
I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.
Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?
Oh, I have found pwnat before, but it's not available for windows, also most people say that it doesn't work anymore because most routers patched the behavior that made it work IIRC.
What's the easy way to know if two peers are directly connected without measuring ping time and guessing?
bore, cli tool written in Rust - alternative to localtunnel and ngrok ( github.com )
