Tailscale might be the easiest and best solution for this. It's like Hamachi, but more modern and much better. They even have a guide on how to set it up on the Steam Deck: https://tailscale.com/blog/steam-deck
Any tips on installing tailscale? It seems kind of straightforward, but I've read posts on different forums that Linux noobs haven't been able to get it to work even with the article's instructions.
From what I gather it's mostly commands konsole ?
They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
I summed up the steps:
Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start
Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:
git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscalesudo bash tailscale.shsource /etc/profile.d/tailscale.shsudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --sshThis will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.Try running
sudo tailscale updateIf this works, i.e. if you don't get any error messages, run
sudo tailscale set --auto-updateIf you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.
Omg thank you. I was really struggling lol. An hour in command line was hell.
