[Feature request] Please make "relay node or proxy use" optional & disable it by default #3

Hi. I read your "Privacy policy" & I'm concerned about this:

"Exceptions you have to know: In some situations Tok can't establish a direct, peer-to-peer, connection with the recepients (e.g.restrictive NATs, TCP mode, HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy), in which cases Tok uses a relay node or proxy. Note that the relay node or proxy can't decrypt contents of messages and audio/video calls, as they are not the intended recipient of those."

Please please please make this feature (capability) optional & disable it by default. Make it possible for user to switch it ON/OFF from general setting of your program.

It is okay if you like to add "feature for making usage of application convenience" like this, but you have to make ALL such features OPTIONAL & DISABLE THEM BY DEFAULT like Jami (https://jami.net) already do ..... Otherwise you will undermined your application .& loss trust of users by making them suspicious ......
