KadNode finds the IP address of other instances on the Internet or local
|
|
network. It is used like DNS, but is based on the decentralized BitTorrent
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
KadNode intercepts .p2p domain queries on the systems level and resolves them
|
|
using a decentralized Kademlia DHT network. Additionally, TLS authentication can
|
|
be used to make sure the correct IP address was found. If successful, the IP
|
|
address is passed to the application making the request.
|
