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?

[–] Dubois_arache@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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...
