LibreRemotePlay
What it is
LibreRemotePlay lets friends play local co-op games online as if they were using one computer. Its maker says it works with controller-compatible games, including DRM-free titles. Peer-to-peer WebRTC connections handle play, while LAN mode can connect players without internet access. Remote video streaming supports configurable codecs, frame rates, and resolutions, with WHIP compatibility for tools such as GStreamer and OBS. Windows and Linux are available for hosting, while clients can use Windows, Linux, or a web browser. The homepage says no account is required for the app or browser client. The maker says the app and client website collect no data; the main website uses open-source, GDPR-compliant analytics without cookies or cross-site tracking. Safari has known browser-client issues, macOS is unsupported, and the project is described as very experimental. There is no backend infrastructure to self-host, though users can configure TURN/STUN servers or an EasyConnectServer. LibreRemotePlay is free forever, with no account or credit card.
