Holepunching for direct Node interconnections via the Internet Overlay Connectivity Module #610

Open MathJud opened 4 months ago

MathJud commented 4 months ago

One thing to consider is a privacy concept, as the direct interconnection will reveal the IP addresses of the directly interconnected nodes.

This issue is a discussion for concepts on how to implement direct interconnections of nodes via the Internet.
