  • dtls

    DTLS 1.2 Server/Client implementation for Go

  • This has been really fascinating to watch. A patch just landed in Pion DTLS[0] yesterday to make the fingerprinting harder. If you haven't had a chance to investigate WebRTC I really think it is worth it.

    WebRTC gives up P2P Data/Media everywhere and it is really hard to block (because so many companies depend on it). To me it really feels like the best path forward to circumventing control.

  • i2p.i2p

    I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

  • Not only that, but so much attention is on Tor and there are irreconcilable problems with its architecture.

    People should consider using I2P instead, which didn't come out of government research and has superior anonymity.

    The downside is it doesn't have a browser bundle like Tor, but it's possible to configure Tor Browser to use it. Turning off scripting all together is really a better approach no matter which tool you use, be it I2P or Tor.
