thoughts on #holesail for seamless p2p connections? I love how it just works and works really well, but i’m still skeptical of the underlying tech… it’s a big black box

What is it that you are skeptical about 🤔, is there something specific.

maybe skeptical isn’t the right word, but it’s that it’s a block box. Can you point me to any resources that describe exactly how pear/holepunch work? In the code it’s all so obfuscated I can’t figure how these p2p connections are being made

Hi you should take a look at https://docs.pears.com/how-tos/connect-two-peers-by-key-with-hyperdht for an explanation on how it works, for a better and deep overview I think you should join Keet and ask in pear development.

Guys there can help you better than me.
