It utilizes WebRTC to establish connections between devices, allowing files to be sent without uploading data to a central server. The project provides a password-protected file sharing mechanism that secures transmissions via symmetric-key stream encryption. It includes a containerized signaling server that can be self-hosted to coordinate connections between peers and facilitate NAT traversal across restrictive networks and firewalls. The application supports multi-file transfers by bundling files into compressed archives and uses service workers for incremental file streaming. It also includes real-time transfer progress tracking and the ability to manually terminate connections. ## Tags ### Networking & Communication - [WebRTC Data Channels](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/networking-communication/peer-to-peer-data-exchange/data-channel-establishment/webrtc-data-channels.md) — Establishes secure, direct browser-to-browser data channels using WebRTC to bypass firewalls and NAT. - [Encrypted Peer-to-Peer Transfers](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/networking-communication/distributed-systems-p2p/peer-to-peer-networking/peer-to-peer-file-sharing/encrypted-peer-to-peer-transfers.md) — Secures peer-to-peer data transfers using symmetric-key stream encryption and password protection.
