Optimized for speed with a Rust implementation, focusing on efficiency in peer-to-peer networking to reduce latency and improve throughput.
Designed to minimize deployment hassle with straightforward command-line setup for server and client modes, as emphasized in the README's goal.
Enables direct connections between clients without centralized routing, enhancing privacy and reducing single points of failure.
Supports Linux and macOS for client mode, making it accessible for common developer and administrator workflows.
Requires manual iptables configuration for NAT, which the README admits is not yet automated and can be error-prone for users unfamiliar with networking.
Only fully supports Linux and offers client mode for macOS, excluding Windows and other operating systems, restricting its usability in heterogeneous environments.
Relies on simple password authentication without built-in support for more secure methods like public key cryptography or multi-factor auth.
