I've had the intention of testing it out for YEARS and finally got around to it last week or so. Really pleasantly surprised how well the NAT punching / relay servers handle keeping machines synced.

I wish I had tried it all those years ago. I wish excluding directories was a little more intuitive and there was a good way to administer config's on a machine not local to me. Maybe over SSH, I'm still learning.

You can use SSH forwarding.

ssh -L 12345:localhost:8384 remoteserver

Keep the ssh session open, maybe “watch date” or something

Go to localhost:12345 in your browser

Bosh

If you can't access the web interface, is Wireguard an option? That's how I do mine.
