I have set up Syncthing, to share files between my Windows 10 machine and Kubuntu machine. Kubuntu runs on a VM on top of Windows 10, but they can be considered as completely separate machines with different IP addresses. I have setup Syncthing using this guide (Syncthing part). But I don’t have https or any GUI Authentication User added. So, basically a vanilla/default setup of Syncthing. My use case is simple: sync files between Windows and Kubuntu, over a local network. My question is,
- How do I keep all the network interactions to be restricted within my local network? Or better, just allow data transfers between 2 ip addresses only(that of PC and that of Kubuntu). Can you suggest a good way to do this?
- Also, does my current setup of Syncthing have encryption enabled? (it’s all default settings, and no https and no gui-authentication users added) Also, will it make sense or add security for me to enable https (or gui-auth-users), for my specific use case?
Thanks a lot for the help!
