I'm not affiliated with Iroh or even using it, but... "IP works just fine". What!? This is _not_ a solved problem

[PantaloonFlames]

I think that was the question: What is the problem it is solving ?

You’ve asserted “THIS is not a solved problem,” which suggests everyone is clear on what THIS means. I think that is not a good assumption.

But what is the actual problem?

[duped]

Establishing fast/secure P2P connections between computers.

Establishing fast/secure P2P connections between ~computers~ *apps.

If you want to connect 2 computers use Tailscale. If you want to write an app which offers peer to peer connection for some feature, then use iroh.

By far the most easy to understand explanation of iroh. I still kept thinking to myself "But why not just Tailscale?" when reading the other comments.

For me, I find more value in connecting computers together than connecting applications together, but I'm not building P2P apps...
