Installing Netrinos on MacOS

Netrinos connects your devices together into a private network. Install it on two or more computers to create your mesh, then access files and remote desktops as if they were on the same local network.

Prerequisites

• A Netrinos account
• At least one other computer set up with Netrinos

Installation

• Visit the Netrinos website at https://netrinos.com
• Click "Download" and select the MacOS version.
• Open the downloaded file and begin installation.
• Follow the on-screen prompts, accepting the default settings.
• Netrinos will launch automatically.
• Log in using your Netrinos credentials.

Connecting to Your Network

• Netrinos will display your other computers. Initially, they may be grayed out, indicating they're still connecting.
• A timer beside a computer's name means your network is established and ready.
• Offline, sleeping, or unconnected computers will remain grayed out.
• Access Netrinos settings through the Menu Bar icon.

File Sharing

• In Netrinos, copy the other computer's Tunnel Name.
• Open Finder. Navigate to Go > Connect to Server.
• Enter smb://[Tunnel Name] (replace [Tunnel Name]). Click "Connect".
• Provide login credentials for the remote computer's file share.
• Select the desired shared volume and browse its contents as if it were local.

Remote Control (Screen Sharing)

• Open the Screen Sharing app (Launchpad > Other).
• Copy the remote computer's Tunnel Name from Netrinos.
• In Screen Sharing, click the "+" button.
• Paste the Tunnel Name and click "Connect".
• You will now be controlling the remote Mac.

Additional Notes

• Netrinos automates the networking complexities, treating remote computers like they were on the same local area network.
• For further assistance, see the Help section on the Netrinos website.
