Documentation

Connects to IP addresses in a true P2P fashion. Contacts are shared via QR-Code. They contain a name, a public key and a list of MAC/IPv4/IPv6 addresses or domain names. By default, only a single MAC address is transferred and used to create an IPv6 link local address (among others) to establish a connection. This does not even need a DHCP server. The exchanged public key is used to authenticate/encrypt signaling data to establish a WebRTC session that can transmit voice and video.
