Open your security cameras from a hotel room. Access your NAS from a coffee shop. Remote desktop into your work PC from the couch. Netrinos makes it work. Netrinos creates a private encrypted network between your devices using WireGuard. No port forwarding, no dynamic DNS, no firewall rules. Your devices find each other and connect automatically. HOW YOU USE IT 1. Connect with one tap 2. Find the device you need 3. Copy its name or IP address 4. Paste into your camera app, SSH client, file browser, or remote desktop app You are on the network. Everything works as if you were there. WHAT YOU SEE All your devices, online status, and connection type at a glance. Open ports discovered automatically: HTTP, SSH, RDP, VNC, SMB, RTSP. Tap any device to copy its hostname or IP. Tap a web port to open it directly. Search and filter across your entire network. HOW IT CONNECTS The app picks the fastest path automatically. Direct when both devices are reachable. Local when you are on the same LAN. Relayed through your own infrastructure when needed. You do not configure any of this. BUILT FOR iOS Connects automatically when your device starts. Zero battery drain when backgrounded. Reconnects silently on network changes. Works on iPhone and iPad. THIS IS NOT A CONSUMER VPN Netrinos does not route your internet traffic through a server in another country. It connects your own devices to each other, privately and directly, using WireGuard encryption. REQUIREMENTS A Netrinos account (netrinos.com). iOS 16.0 or later.
