Regarding peer to peer VPNs:

I want to access homeservers and LAN videogames.

I was testing zrok [1] until they went paid, then I went to ongoing experiments with Lanemu [2] (a bittorrent-based P2P VPN) and Anywhere Lan (AWL) [3].

So far, the best is AWL - it actually works, peer discovery is fast, and it gives you mDNS-style domains for connected machines; using it is very similar to Syncthing. I wish the peer discovery in Lanemu worked better, as it works all the way back to WinXP. I made a custom build of AWL that works on Win7 (https://github.com/anywherelan/awl/issues/174)
