- People connecting their own machines across networks
- Worth noticing
- For discovery, nodes can leave encrypted, signed notes in the public BitTorrent DHT that the project says only network members can read.
Field notes
The page lays out a peer-discovery and connection workflow: machines use DHT notes to find one another, try direct paths through routers and firewalls, and may relay through another node. It also details a Linux desktop feature with persistent sessions, file transfer, clipboard support, and options for GPU-encoded video. The project marks itself pre-1.0 and says to use it at your own risk.
