Zerotier looks especially interesting. Can I have machine A listen for |
| 24 |
Zerotier connections, have machine B connect to machine A via Zerotier, |
| 25 |
have machine C connect to machine A via Zerotier, and rsync push from B to |
| 26 |
C? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Does connecting two machines via Zerotier involve any security |
| 29 |
considerations besides those involved when connecting those machines to the |
| 30 |
internet? In other words, is it a simple network connection or are other |
| 31 |
privelages involved with that connection? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Can I somehow require the Zerotier connection between machines A and C in |
| 34 |
order for C to pass HTTP basic authentication on my web server which |
| 35 |
resides elsewhere? Maybe I can route all traffic from machine C to my web |
| 36 |
server through C's Zerotier connection to A and lock down basic |
| 37 |
authentication on my web server to machine A? |
