 its encrypted by default. The whole system is built on public/private keys so it doesn't really matter if its "http" or "https." In fact, as I understand it https would require approval by the certificate authority and registration and all that, which just reintroduces third parties. Best to avoid them entirely, imo.

 thats not really what i mean. if its http only, then it cant handle tcp or udp connections like electrum servers or gaming/streaming

 Oooh, gotcha. Yes it can handle those. I may not have the deets on exactly what it does, but I’m pretty sure it does the hole punching and then uses that connection to establish the UDP. I actually think Mad said Keet is run over UDP now that I think of it… 🤔

If I’m wrong about Keet specifically then it’s something else built on Pear, because I remember talking to Maf about this exact thing.

 Yes it support anything that runs over TCP, we will provide UDP support in a future release.
