> I don’t know how feasible this is, but I had an idea for alternative P2P realtime chat connection method for users who don’t want to reveal the IP address. Once Tor is supported in core, maybe a realtime chat app can spin up an onion site when it is first started, and then communicates thru the onion sites? There would be disadvantages like a delay when starting the app and slightly higher latency, but maybe this option could make a nice alternative for users who don’t want to reveal the IP addr…
