What do you find so problematic with tor?
I've been using another chat app that uses tor (briar) to chat with my family and the chatting app has been working flawlessly for us so far.
Tor curcomvents the nonsensical restrictions that isps place on users and makes it very easy to build p2p applications. No need for stuff like nat stun turn. Just exchange public keys and go!
If anything, I find it weird that other p2p chat apps don't use tor given how easy and reliable it makes the chatting UX.
- _joel 3y agoI'd rather not participate in the network, have the network flow logs on my ISP and it's slow. You can run the app on top of Tor if you need it. Seems to be not just me that can't understand why it's needed and it's definitely turned me off as a potential user.
- holmesworcester 3y agoA lot of people think that by using Tor they are routing traffic for others, but this isn't the case. Is this what you mean? We don't want to turn people off with the use of Tor (since it makes connecting more reliable and is quite fast for chat once connected) so I'd love to learn more about the objection.
