Why are you not using tox yet Jow Forums? It is a p2p skype / discord killer that supports:
- group chat - low latency audio - low latency video - file transfer between friends - full anonymous tor support
Tox was originally started right here on Jow Forums and has been increasing in quality since with frequent commits. Setup instructions are at: pastebin.com/Q3CB1mS9
Hasn't been audited. It can't be used as a phone replacement.
Juan Young
I would use it if anyone else did
Hunter Hernandez
Never heard about it desu
Gavin Gonzalez
>It can't be used as a phone replacement. Tox has had a working phone client for years. I use it every day. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=chat.tox.antox >Hasn't been audited The crypto library has been
Ryan Walker
>I would use it if anyone else did There are 50 people between the two group chats I am in.
I don't mean a phone client, I mean as in being able to call up someone whenever, due to decentralized nature, or maybe autism, I dunno. The other party has to be expecting it or at least prepared for it.
Doesn't mean it's used properly.
Nathan Baker
I tried toying around with it about 2 years ago, but it was pretty shaky and Mumble served my needs just fine. Maybe it's time to see what it's become.
Jack Ward
>The other party has to be expecting it or at least prepared for it. Yes user to chat with someone they have to be online. I'm not sure how you expect to call someone if they were offline even with a real phone. You want fucking voice mail? >Doesn't mean it's used properly. If you are so concerned go read the source. It is not long.
Ethan Martinez
Ok requested invite
Levi Hernandez
tox leaks your IP address
Josiah Rogers
>what is tor So do torrents. How the fuck do you think p2p works. THE VERY FIRST POST says that it has full tor support if you want full anonymity.
No thore are not. My question was about Tox groups tho
Hunter Williams
>chats = groups People here use the word chats for chat apps.
Xavier Foster
I'd have used messagins apps or instant messaging apps, chat APPS. Not chats. -.-" kek
Xavier Cox
>The crypto library has been Doesn't mean shit. The library can be secure but Tox devs could fuck up implementation.
Alexander Bailey
Lol Tox doesnt even werk
Asher Wright
I installed w/ 2 brainlet friends
>user this was easy to install (even the tor part) >user the chat is really good >user I like the file transfers But then the group call 2 second latency happened... >user we can't use this, we won't be able play our epic vidya
My next attempt at merging my normie nigger cattle group of friends is to attempt a mumble server, followed by setting up Riot-im and exploring its bridges (which I don't understand as of yet but seem powerful), I just can't use this discord shit forever its killing me.
Tyler Gonzalez
Riot's just a client, you need to set up a Matrix server and coturn to use VoIP.
Already been using it. Audio quality is not that good but otherwise it just works.
Jacob Russell
That's what you get for using P2P for live shit, especially with normies. I've been hosting Mumble for years and as long as you manage your bandwidth, it never fails. Traffic shaping is your friend when hosting on most kike ISPs.
Anyone have any active chat rooms? the one I'm in is dead.
Jackson Ward
bumping for interest
Isaac Mitchell
fucking normies
Asher Wood
tox doesn't support group calls and antox doesn't even support group chat. sorry but currently xmpp is best if you're looking to use it on your phone as a half decent replacement for whatsapp. at least until antox adds group chat
Jose Adams
its me the guy who made the website and some other shit for tox checking in again to remind you that tox is total trash and is dead and anybody who tries to tell you otherwise doesn't understand the project
Jackson Reed
Tox leaks your IP
Connor Gutierrez
Tox leaks your IP to anybody you message. You dont even have to call them.
Christian Sanchez
It's me from FINS telling you and all the other literal niggers on this website to suck my cock. Tox has never even slowed down, it's been my daily driver and dogfood since 2013. Every time I'm linked back to this shithole the average IQ has descended even further. This place is probably 90% phonepoasters now
I have no words. Same shit as always. It's absolute rote garbage regurgitation over and over. You don't need to kill yourselves. You were never alive.
Luke White
i literally was part of the tox dev team and haven't even been on here except to post in these threads for over a year you fucking cumsock, none of the good devs behind it ever took it seriously, only larping retards ever actually cared about it and have never contributed anything useful
it's a dead pet project that nobody except a few legacy users and a few autistic developers even care that it exists
the only good thing that has ever and will ever come of tox was that shitty toxvpn project because it gave the devs a good excuse to play minetest with tekkit for over a year instead of doing useless dev work on tox
Andrew Jones
No matter how much you desperately repeat IT'S DEAD IT'S DEAD, you STILL can't kill Tox by crying and pretending. :^) also fuck off nigger you literally made nothing, t. guy who wrote all the copy and called you a faggot on github a few times >Google Captcha for every fucking post absolutely feminized enjoy your facebook clone, i'll be shooting nacled packets across the globe with no central infrastructure
Jordan Johnson
>Not audited >Roots in autistic basketweaving forum >Matrix and signal exist
Brandon Peterson
if you can masturbate by playing ping pong with libsodium boxed messages then you do you sir
nobody is trying to kill tox, there is literally no need
Austin Rodriguez
I have been recently using TOX... other than Antidote does anybody know of any other TOX clients for the iOS?
Jeremiah Robinson
>Tox has never even slowed down, it's been my daily driver and dogfood since 2013. Nice try shill. We are not leaking our IPs.
Justin Morris
its a feature
Jason Morgan
toxic via ssh
Adrian Hill
>minetest fuck yeah
Adam Thompson
luv u fuck you gen2
Isaac Bailey
Tox has full tor support. Install tor. You are leaking your IP to every shitty site you connect to right now.
Angel Jones
>tox doesn't support group calls Yes it does. I use them. >antox doesn't even support group chat. Yes it does I use it. >sorry but currently xmpp is best if you're looking to use it on your phone If you want a shitty server
Jose Torres
Ignore the gypo
Isaac Cooper
when will they fix auto updates, this shit is embarrassing.
Christopher Hall
How can it be called "secure" if it does not have out-of-the-box IP encryption? Inb4: >just use Tor Fuck you, shills, do you really want me to trust those Pentagon rats?
Jose James
>when will they fix auto updates, this shit is embarrassing. What's embarrassing is that Tox leaks your IP and it came from Jow Forums
Jeremiah Jackson
>your IP is being leaked to Jow Forums and cloudflare right now >your IP is being leaked to signal >your IP is being leaked to discord You should not use any app until the IP protocol is removed because it is impossible to solve.
Groupchats are not currently supported due to limitations in the java library. It only supports new-groupchats so antox will not have groupchats until new-groupchats is added to toxcore
Joseph Perez
so don't text people you don't know
Jacob Roberts
>it's a dead pet project >hurdur it's shit >t. web dev pleb
So which android app is recommended? Last I tried them they were both a shitshow
Aaron Lopez
>Recommending IPLeaker
Caleb Smith
>haven't even been on here except to post in these threads for over a year what's your script dawg? that's some mighty grep-fu you got there
Mason Thomas
it's also deprecated and only gets security updates infrequently
Alexander Robinson
the only complaint about tox in this thread is about their ip getting leaked is coming from the same people leaking their ip to every fucking site they visit
Nathaniel Thompson
If you're going to be connecting through Tor, why not use software like Briar that's designed for it?
Tox IS designed for tor. All the major clients have options to use SOCKS5 / disabling DHT / etc. All the features work over tor. Stop spreading FUD. >leaking your IP to Jow Forums right now
>centralisation is bad, they collect and sell all your data >decentralisation is bad, they leak your IP Just stop using the internet.
Joseph Jenkins
in the meantime of this useless banter, if something leaks my public IP address, doesn't that expose me to attacks? I can think back to the old days where skype leaked your IP address (easily) and people would DDOS or otherwise break into your shit because they had your IP.
it being given out to randos is worse than to a company
Regardless, I'm interested in these implications. I'm a massive fan of free speech and privacy, and I see p2p as the main way that this could become a reality. I think I'd like to see how it would work if you linked it to ethereum. If you got it running as a dapp, and really just got this whole bit a-flowing.
Michael Foster
Checked it out years ago, was fairly sparse as far as functionality went, then never heard anything about it again so I didn't remember to check back. You guys need to promote it more.
Gavin Adams
Is tox a viable Skype replacement?
Oliver Ross
they are right though, ip leaks to Jow Forums are not as bad. I study cybersec man, if somebody just gives me their ip address then I can pentest their router. It's a small attack vector, sure, but you'd be surprised. Some of these vulnerabilities in home routers are massive, and the companies behind these low-budget routers have security as a very low priority.
Kayden Wood
>leaking your IP to Jow Forums >implying I'm not in the gibson right now and using it to post on Jow Forums
Julian Wood
The big complains about Tox is there is no real multi-device support, new group chat hasn't been implemented and offline messaging never going to be a real thing due to p2p.
Daniel Wright
>the only complaint about tox in this thread is about their ip getting leaked is coming from the same people leaking their ip to every fucking site they visit Post a screenshot of your router's public WAN IP page right now.
Brody James
It's updated every month, what else do you want?
Chase Richardson
>you are leaking your IP to Jow Forums and cloudflare right now >tox has full tor support and you skip right over this
Joseph Collins
>needing tor to hide your IP no
Samuel Long
>you should recreate a shitty copy of tor with even fewer nodes so that it is even less secure you are a retard
