Hello.
I can't wait to see whether you can answer my doubt:
I have many omcputers in several houses around my province and all connected to Internet. Some of them are connected inside my LAN.
The question is: may I use and connect all my computers although many of them are in different LANs without paying money?.
If so, I don't know whicih step I did it wrong.
Thank you very much in advance and congrats for this awesome add-on.
Thanks for your reply James.
But I wanted to know whether this can be done without a VPN because I thought that Sheepit was ready to be used just only adding my PCs.
In fact I didn't read anywhere in the docs any reference to a VPN , although of course it's a super valid method. :)
In the docs, when they say "you can add your own nodes" they don't explain well enough (at least for a newbye user).
Hi there,
You can connect to other computers outside your own network and connect via the internet. The best way to do this right now would be to setup a VPN. There is free software to do this, one I have tried is softether. But there may be others.
Technically you don't need a VPN, you can actually configure your routers at each location to forward traffic for crowdrender to your computer. This is not as useful a method though since it only allows you to connect to one computer at each location. A VPN would allow you to connect to many computers on each network.
