No it does not, otherwise i wouldnt have recommended it. There are public discovery servers hosted by syncthing and community members that handle the initial contact.
There really isnt anything different about using it over the internet. Just exchange QR code or device ID once and from then on they automatically find each other as if they were on the same LAN. Takes a few seconds longer to connect than over LAN ofc.
I’d like to have this for my home PC, but I also don’t want it to be serving as an always-on server. Creating a home server is one of those bucket list items I have for when I can get a dedicated device for it…
Doesn’t Syncthing have to be on the same network?

It works completely seemlessly over the imternet.
Ah neat, thanks. I’ve been using it on my home network but haven’t tried the public discovery stuff as of yet.

Tailscale should get you over that hurdle I would think.

I just use an old phone with either a big SD card or an external SSD connected over USB. Uses ~1W and takes up very little space.
