      I don’t know that software good, maybe the main differences are that wormhole is not opensource (I don’t know) and that blaze does not have file size limit, as soon as you maintain your machine on.

        i mean yeah. FOSS and no file size limits are definitely pluses. thanks for the info. are you maintaining that instance mentioned on the git? are there protections for users of that instance?

          Nope, I only liked the software because I like everything related with bittorrent network and DHT hehe… I think that instance does not know a lot of the users, but when you use that software you are using webRTC connections in your browser, so maybe your IP could be transparent when sharing anything. This alert is emitted in software like Peertube, which also uses webRTC to distribute the videos. You can fix that either with a torified connection or with a VPN…

    This actually seems like a really good way to share some archived files from my NAS with my brother without relying on SFTP over WireGuard.

      That could be, also you can use webttorrent, qbittorrent (Lan connections are fast), syncthing (a bit more complicated)… I don’t know how, but these programs sometimes find the way to connect to other peers even with restricted ports…

    This is super cool, I’m hosting SnapDrop for this purpose and it’s pretty slick, but I wonder how WebTorrent’s performance differs for larger files
