<p><font size="5">Meshnet is now completely free. It creates an
encrypted tunnel. You could then access windows via a Windows
share. I do this frequently when I'm remote. A file browser on
my cell phone is configured to access the mesh net IP address
assigned to my Windows computer at home.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Solution is much less complicated and most
importantly is fast and convenient. Say you take a handful of
photographs or a screenshot with your cell phone, and you want
to email them to somebody. Nearby share lets you send those
files in A matter of seconds without having a Nordvpn account.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">say for example you are on your cell phone and you
go into the browser and navigate to a web page. With nearby
hearing you can send that web link to your Windows computer
directly.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">This software is exclusive to connecting your cell
phone to your Windows computer, and you're unlikely to have both
of those while you're out and about at dinner at a restaurant.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Android cell phones have the ability to do nearby
file sharing to other Android cell phones directly. I believe it
uses a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-fi direct. I recall that
I recently did a NordVPN Meshnet demo for the group? Possibly
another group, I'm not sure.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">If not, I can cover it quickly in the meeting. I
have Meshnet slides.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I know a fair amount about meshnet because I use
it as a Nord VPN customer. When it first came out you needed to
be a VPN customer. That is no longer the case. You can for
example install it on your computers and use the meshnet feature
for free.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I can be anywhere with my cell phone and connect
to my Windows computer through a private VPN Tunnel. It's
actually quite fast since it's using your router's Internet
speed and your phone's Internet speed, which in my case is fast
as I have access to the high speed Verizon network.</font><br>

It's slower, and not direct, as the WiFi transfers I'm
familiar with use a network and a hub or router, but it's (in
my opinion) safer. And you don't always have access to a
common WiFi network unless you use a VPN to "phone home",
which used to be quite slow for data transfers. </div>

<p>I will demo this at the June Windows 11
meeting.<br clear="none">

<p>This software is still in beta and I have
it installed on two machines and so far it
works flawlessly. It's written by Google.<br

<p>It lets you use the Android nearby share
feature that normally only nearby shares
with other Android phones with Windows
computers also.</p>
<p>If you select and long press text or a
hyperlink or a file, android pops up a
window and there is an icon that
symbolizes sharing that is a three-way
star looking thing and then nearby share
will be one of the options. When probably
installed, your Windows computer will show
up as one of the devices that you can send
the file or hyperlink to. <br

<p>There is also a separate Android software
program in the Google Play App Store that
lets you do the same thing but only in one
direction . Developer is working on two
way. The big difference with this software
program is you don't need to install or
modify windows in any way whatsoever. The
application on Android can send files to
windows that have nearby share enabled.
Nearby share on windows must be enabled
for this to work.<br clear="none">
