Everyone was saying SendAnywhere was gold but I quickly found there share links don’t work in Android. Not many apps do.

I to use Surfshark and I have a 2.5g network setup from my NAS for local network.

I just wanna play around with this. I still have SurfShark enabled & have NordVPN installed free version but im only using MESH not the vpn. :wink:

read up on tailscale, its free for 20 devices and takes a little setup to figure it out. Several youtube tuts on it as well. A new app im checking out is local send, pretty cool

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

As we can see that the device is rooted and we can’t guarantee that our app will work correctly due to root configuration, custom rom or cryptography compatibility.

Please, try to install this version of the Android application: https://downloads.nordcdn.com/apps/android/generic/nordvpn-sideload/4.12.11/NordVPN.apk

Let us know how it goes.
