Are there plans to add to the hub the ability to forward packets between pilots?
I can see two reasons, why we would want that:
- JoinFS could fall back on this mode, if it notices that peers cannot contact each other directly, because of network/firewall/router issues,
- to protect the IP addresses of privacy-minded pilots, not from the hub owner, but from other pilots; I'm thinking especially about Twitch streamers here.
on the client side, it would be nice to be able to configure the user's preference: "only connect to hubs with forwarding and hide my address", "if hub offers forwarding, request it; if not, connect without forwarding", and "don't care"
Cheers,
Marc
