Seems like this is an opportunity for a tor like network over a webRTC peer to peer network, maybe? (Dunno maybe that's a bad idea for some reason...)

- bb88 11y agoWhy Tor-like? Why not just Tor? Seems like a great way for people to send messages that don't involve a cloud-based server.
- dcposch 11y agoSame reason webtorrent isn't quite bittorrent. WebRTC gives you P2P in a webapp, but it doesn't let you connect to arbitrary hosts and ports. You could have an onion routing protocol derived from tor or i2p that uses the webrtc data channel. You could even, like webtorrent, have the concept of hybrid nodes that existing network to the new webrtc-based one.
