I’m trying to stream games over the internet for me and a friend.
Connecting with my Android phone via my local network works fine.
Trying to add a computer manually with an IP address does not.
I went to https://www.showmyip.com/ to get my IP address and entered that, it didn’t work. I tried adding the port in the Sunshine web UI after the IP address, that didn’t work.
I’ve read this could be a firewall issue. I disabled ufw and connecting still does not work.
I tried enabling UPnP in the Sunshine web UI, and that didn’t solve the problem.
What’s the recommended way to connect to a PC manually? They’re not very clear about what information is needed, even specifying that we need to include a port would help.
So… I need to download another program and learn how to use it? My god, it never ends.
It’s a shame this isn’t as easy to configure as Parsec.
Welcome to the self hosted world friend. Also, your friend is going to need to download Tailscale also if they want to connect to your computer
If you want to use sunshine over the Internet you can
@lumony@lemmings.world just chose Tailscale or ZeroTier and follow that tutorial. Be strong my friend, selfhosting keeps Parsec’s possibly dirty fingers off your important data.
