I've been using it for the last two weeks and I've been pretty happy with it. One thing I wish it had is to display possibly some information regarding the connection. I usually use icanhazip to verify my IP is different from my local net. I think displaying what exclusions and such are active during an active connection would be good too.

Typing on phone, so please excuse the slightly abrupt tone.

Good to hear that its working out for you. I'm actually having a bit of trouble keeping in contact with the active users. I put a post in the discussion area of the repo but didn't get much response. If anyone has any ideas on how to better keep in touch with the users I would appreciate it.

I agree, it needs better visibility of what is happening with the active connection. Its easy enough to use icanhazip etc. in a browser to see the active IP but that's not possible in apps like a torrent downloader or game. Someone suggested a feature to monitor data input/output in the repo discussion area so I'll tag onto that with your suggestions.

Reaching your users is even difficult for me, building internal tools. We use a multi-pronged strategy. The only way to be sure is to have a popup in the app, although tbf this annoys people so care should be taken to minimise the nuisance.
