Phoenix Network Forums

Hi! I'm interested in setting up a private, secure P2P network with my friends and am just soliciting some suggestions. Have any of you guys used W.A.S.T.E. (waste.sourceforge.net), and if so do you like it? Or how about running some P2P software over a Hamachi VPN or a more traditional VPN? Thanks for the input...

Does someone mind moving this post to the "Technology" section? Sorry, I inadvertently posted here...Thanks.

Why dont you create dc++ private server with password and you wont have any problems.

Good call. I'm looking into that and that should be a lot easier than creating a full-blown VPN. Thanks.

Won't you have a problem getting on to dc++ if behind a nat? I sertainly did and gave up because I didn't want to dmz my windows box

you can't forward some ports to get DC++ to work behind a NAT?

in most cases, when people are asking about NAT issues, they can't access the routers port forwarding table...
(universitys, firms, public aps, etc...)

It was the wierdest thing, I forwarded the ports, but nothing would download off dc++ what so ever. To this day I still have no idea exactly why.

good call mayday, thank god i don't work someplace where they block stuff like that but that didn't occur to me that that would be off limits.

My friends and I have a private p2p network setup using Alliance. It works great, its open source, I highly recommend it!
