Each device on your account gets a private static IP address in the network 100.x.x.x. The name is static as long as the device lives on your account.

Each also gets a friendly DNS name in the form device.account.2ho.ca (try finding a short domain these days).

So yes, you can...

$ ssh user@server.myaccount.2ho.ca

C:\ net use S: \\server.myaccount.2ho.ca\Home

etc.

Well, given you can set your vpn server to also relay dns requests, and have that same server resolve any *.myspecialtld requests makes that a breeze. I run a whole invite only "internet" of sorts doing this with a plain wireguard server (video streaming, webmail, chatbot, personal websites, forums etc) finding a short domain is easy as pie.

Ah, that's a shame - my OCD loves the short, domainless names we get on Tailscale.

    Maybe I should look into that... there are a few different ways to do it, and none of them are all that hard.

    - i just put it in the roadmap
