How does this technically work? Is this a server which just tunnels through tcp traffic?
So does all data pass through your server or is it a rendezvous server, which uses ICE to establish a P2P connection?
Yep everything goes through my server (see the security and privacy sections at the bottom of the page).
It would be awesome if someone could figure out a peer-to-peer way to accomplish the same thing. I'm not familiar with it, but I think that might essentially be what Tor hidden services are.
Thank you very much for your answer, and great project :)
I am also not very familiar with P2P, but I know that it is a bit complicated because of NATS. ICE is a protocol to make it possible for clients to establish a P2P connection, but it is not always possible because of symmetric NATS. Thus, for example in WebRTC there exist STUN and TURN servers.
