I think qft is a very good project, and I think I can develop an open source alternative to Resilio Sync based on it.

But in China, the helper server is easily blocked because of GFW.

Is it possible to find the IP and port of a certain address through DHT, Kad network.

The address can be a public key.

I don't know what DHT is, but I suspect any kind of protocol that lets bytes be transmitted can be used by adapting the SafeReadWrite implementation.

Could you provide more details on DHT please?

Here's a wikipedia article on DHTs I am working on integrating qft into some projects which I may actually end up using a DHT for lookups
