Comment on Show HN: connet – A P2P reverse proxy with NAT traversal

Comments

Spent 2 years working on the same problem. Ended up designing a library that does:

- direct connect

- reverse connect

- tcp hole punching

- turn support

Has other features too like:

- multi-interface

- duel-stack

- port forwarding and pin holes

Show some love cause its at 64 stars and is IMO, objectively better for direct peer-to-peer networking than OPs library that only supports direct, reverse, and relay, and which doesn't seem to do anything to open ports or firewalls. It does make me salty that I try so hard with my own work but what seems to make people successful is their ability to get lucky on sites like this or game them.

No offense to OP. Here's my project: https://github.com/robertsdotpm/p2pd

≥- duel-stack

dual-stack

unless they have sabers

Maybe they do, TCP hole punching is like a duel in a way. You are right tho, my spelling is horrible. Hope my message above doesn't come off in bad taste. I should be happy for the OP I guess.

connet is a young project, and draws inspiration from many great projects like yours. Thanks for sharing it, I starred it!

thanks man, sorry if i came off harshly will edit my post tbh, its a bad look. keep working on your project. I do see the need for what you're doing.
