    yep. “hidden node (over tor)” lets you connect directly. I can see your user name is “gekut” and your onion address is hygzlzl2hxznxfxgzl3sghovnub5pjf555op72evqagihszkhtnz2bad.onion

    It tells me you are offline atm.

    RS is the most censorship resistant p2p net out there. You can create true friend2friend networks and thats end of story for the rats.

      That is odd, the RS node is online. Can you post your RS ID so I can try to connect to you?

          you invited me to a chatroom;

          desktop seems to work flawlessly with tor hidden service setup option.

          Maybe some android testing needed.
