   The most obnoxious and loudest people always superficially dominate any open and unmoderated conversation -- like the public square. That doesn't necessarily mean they're winning in the long game, just that being obnoxious and lou

   There's another thing that encourages complexity: vested interests. Once a complex paradigm is established you'll have vendors with an interest in maintaining or even increasing that complexity. The corporate IT ecosystem is rife

   In practice neither is strong. I worked in infosec for a while. Nearly every real-world threat we saw came in via HTTP, IMAP/POP3, or some other "pull" mechanism. Firewall might as well not have even been there. Anyone who th

   Cool to get a ping from Hamachi's author. I deliberately did not use Hamachi while designing ZeroTier since I didn't want to pollute my headspace with something so similar. :) ZeroTier right now is sort of an OSS Hamachi, since I

   NAT isn't why it doesn't do mobile. It doesn't do mobile yet because there are issues around battery life that have to be solved. Mobile will take the addition of a sleep mode and the use of mobile push notification busses.

   I didn't mention carrier-grade NAT, but it's almost always full-cone and traversable. ZeroTier works behind tethering behind carrier-grade cellular NAT.

    It would be slightly less evil without NAT. You'd still need the three-party handshake but it would always work. You'd no longer have the symmetric NAT craziness. You could also dispense with the need for frequent keepalives, a bo

    Two hosts in the same subnet is best achieved using LAN locator beacons that allow direct connectivity without involving the server at all. ZeroTier, Dropbox, and I think Skype all do that, though ZeroTier could do it better (there's a

    It is, but mostly because popular operating systems have historically had poor application isolation and vulnerable services. My personal opinion is that having to have a firewall everywhere in front of everything is a hack that was put int

    I got interested in "hacking" (sense two) when I was about fourteen, and I feel somehow very privileged to have actually used a 2600hz tone... once. Back in 1992-ish, there were still a few phone systems on Earth that used tones.

    In that area I think they hit reality-- nothing is free, nor can it be, at least not until we achieve some kind of true post-scarcity state.
