I know this is more emulation based, but still "retro" as it's ps1/ps2 related...maybe yall crazy modders have done this!

Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

Me: Never done online emulation.

Why a VPN?

This is just for security purposes since otherwise any vulnerabilities in Sunshine could be exploited.

And to be clear, I don't mean a privacy commercial VPN where you're paying to hide in a crowd or change your location but just an encrypted tunnel between two (or more) computers (although they more or less use the same technology).
