With the rise of governmental monitoring programs, Tox aims to be an easy to use application that allows people to connect with friends and loved ones without the worry of privacy.<br/><br/>
+ Tox must use UDP simply because you can't hole punch with TCP. It's possible, but it doesn't work all the time.
+ Every peer is represented as a byte string (the public key of the peer [client id])
+ We're using torrent-style DHT so that peers can find the IP of the other peers when they have their ID.
+ Once the client has the IP of that peer, they start initiating a secure connection with each other. (See [Crypto](https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/blob/master/docs/Crypto.txt))
+ When both peers are securely connect with the encryption, they can securely exchange messages, initiate a video chat, send files, etc.
