Retroshare allows you to establish encrypted connections between you and your friends to create a network of computers, and provides various distributed services on top of it: forums, channels, chat, mail... Retroshare is fully decentralized, and designed to provide maximum security and anonymity to its users beyond direct friends. Retroshare is entirely free and open-source software. It is available on Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service.

Get the software @ https://retroshare.cc/

Make sure to select "Hidden node (over tor)" when creating your node. See screenshot, otherwise your incoming connections may not work.

When you set up retroshare for the first time you can select "Hidden node (over Tor)" and it will automatically create a hidden service for you, no need to do it yourself

I see someone requested a connection to me but it looks like they are not configured properly

yep. “hidden node (over tor)” lets you connect directly. I can see your user name is “gekut” and your onion address is hygzlzl2hxznxfxgzl3sghovnub5pjf555op72evqagihszkhtnz2bad.onion

It tells me you are offline atm.

RS is the most censorship resistant p2p net out there. You can create true friend2friend networks and thats end of story for the rats.

That is odd, the RS node is online. Can you post your RS ID so I can try to connect to you?

we are connected. you created a forum: monero town ... I can see it.

you invited me to a chatroom;

desktop seems to work flawlessly with tor hidden service setup option.

Maybe some android testing needed.
