Cool thing in the and ecosystem is ipnslink.com/

tl;dr: Run a server somewhere (like at home), generate a public key for it's identity. Users can access it from either the p2p network directly or any gateway that will automatically route to it.

No need for dns or messing with ip addresses.

I'm thinking it could be handy for users that want to self host at home on their pc.

@mauve I love ideas like these but hosting a relay for any sort of content always hits the issue of "I don't want to get arrested" for me. The security inevitably won't protect me against real adversaries

@canteen @mauve precisely why i wont host any kind of tor node despite really wanting to. you just KNOW someone's gonna do some illegal shit and get me arrested

@azu @canteen @mauve that’s only a concern for exit nodes. relays and bridges are completely fine legally, tho they are listed publicly iirc so sites might incorrectly give you captchas anyway. an even easier way to contribute is to run the snowflake browser extension https://snowflake.torproject.org/

@em @azu @canteen Yeah the liability is more on gateway operators and exit nodes. For the ipns case if you're mostly using p2p traffic it's not too scary, also libp2p not being fully anon might discourage users of ipnslink from hosting sketchy stuff that'd get a gateway operator in trouble.
