I guess that horde messages aren’t so important because they are mostly metadata, but the genservers themselves are communi…

I agree with @shanesveller , if you are exposing the nodes to internet you are doing it wrong. I think the best solution for this kind of problem lies at network level, if you are using the same cloud provider you can use internal IPs to communicate between nodes or use a VPN if you really need to g…

We’re not exposing the nodes to the internet. This will run on k8s, so the communication is internal, we’re just exploring this to add an extra level of security. As said by @shanesveller , if a malicious actor has total control of a node, the messages are the least worrying thing. I’m thinking the p…
