  • Clients are open source. We believe that source code availability provides greater transparency to the user about what their device is actually doing. Ideally we like to see these applications available in F-Droid.
  • Supports IPv6. We expect that servers will allow incoming connections via IPv6 and allow users to access services hosted on IPv6 addresses.
  • Capability of remote port forwarding assists in creating connections when using P2P (Peer-to-Peer) filesharing software, Freenet, or hosting a server (e.g., Mumble).
