Zerotierone: [RFC] Make TCP relay address configurable

Created on 24 Oct 2016  路  1Comment  路  Source: zerotier/ZeroTierOne

In many networks, only TCP ports 80 and 443 are allowed. I guess that the global tcp relays are not guaranteed to be fast. It would be nice to be able run TCP relay yourself and configure ZeroTier to use it.

I can see that this configurability might be against zero-conf goals of ZT, but if these changes are acceptable, I'm going to implement them and make PR.

We're going to punt this one because that whole thing is going to die soon.

We're planning on introducing HTTP (and/or web sockets, have not decided) as a first-class core transport alongside UDP. This would be a fallback-- UDP is better for encapsulating a packetized protocol for obvious reasons. But it would have two advantages: allowing ZT to run in web-proxy-only corporate net environments, and allowing ZT to run in a browser.

The latter is a big secret so shhh. 馃槃
