How to include local packages without NuGet?

I am looking for a way to include versionized local VL packages in vvvv projects - is there a suggested workflow on this? I know about the possibilities to include source repositories, and also to build a package and deploy that to NuGet. But I am somehow looking for a middle-way here, to create versions of non-public packages, which can just be downloaded from a server and included locally, without them being distributed through NuGet. Is there a reference somebody can point me to, or would somebody share some insights?

Alternatively: is there a way to deploy VL packages to NuGet, but make these invisible to the public, so that you would have to use a key or similar to access the package?

nuget.org is only one public nuget server. you can also run your own or e.g. host nugets with GitHub Packages even on private repos.

You can also use a local folder on your disc as nuget source. Doesn’t need to be hosted.
