### How does it work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See `PROTOCOL.md`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How do you handle Control and Administration?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See `PROTOCOL.md`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### But isn't gathering all the data slow? And what if a user goes offline?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's why there are __Cache Servers__. See `PROTOCOL.md`
|

### What about search engines? They can't index stuff that's not served over plain HTTP

No problem! Cache servers will eventually be able to render pages on the backend
|
|
|
|
|
so that content is readable even via HTTP, without Javascript or IPFS access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Can I be anonymous?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What if someone monitors my IPFS node? Will they know what content I'm seeing
|
|
|
|
|
and everything I post and link it to my IP?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
__Yes, but there is a solution.__
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can access a Cache Server's HTTP(s) gateway via Tor for read only access to content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To post while mantaining anonimity, you would need to run IPFS via Tor.
|
|
|
|
|
This is probably not easily done at the moment but it is planned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also security concerns for example getting profiled by your cache's
|
|
|
|
|
contents, but there are solutions (in this case, caching everything or a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
stuff you don't really care about just to make the data useless).
