I wanted to write that there is another similar project based on Beaker Browser (P2P) browser, that uses dat protocol and direct streaming to another browser... but I can't find it.

I never understood how Beaker browser can act as a server listening on a port. It sounds like you always need relays on the internet because your router and ISP is gonna block all ports unless requested not to.

Beaker doesn't act as a server, it uses Dat, which is very similar to SSB and IPFS. https://datprotocol.com

Responding to GP, you probably mean https://github.com/cabal-club/, which is a WIP and relies on some new protocol features not in Beaker yet, but usable in the CLI as I understand it

Really excited about scuttlebutt, will make a future post on it, thanks!
Maybe ipv6 or upnp helps?
I wanted to not reply to this... but I didnt.
