What happened to Tox? Does it still leak your IP? Doesn't

>Does it still leak your IP?
>Doesn't Skype do better since Skype doesn't leak your IP address?

I managed to get my friends to use it.

Leaking IPs isnt a problem for me because I'm always on a VPN.

Also seems a lot more lightweight and usable than Skype. Not to mention proper Linux support

>>52592836
Well, does it still leak IPs or not?

>>52592836
Does it leak your IP or what?

>been in development for 2 years
>still in alpha

MEGA has its own end to end encrypted messenger and video calling built in now so
plus you get 50 GB free of cloud storage, why arent you /g/ays using it yet?

Me and my friends use it because it's less shitty than bloated Skype, but it has so many issues that we rarely use it.

We can't even get group calls to work on Tox and my IDs keep getting randomly wiped but that seems to have stopped now. Also I can't get video calls or showing my screen to work, so sadly I have to use Skype.

Your browser leaks your ip to 4chan when you visit it.

BUT THEN MY FRIENDS MIGHT KNOW MY IP ADDRESS
What the fuck?
The point of tox was to be easy to set up and have a direct chat with people.

It died because it doesn't work well on mobile devices.

nothing will change the fact the the NSA is watching you stroke your anteater cock to some fugly trap on /soc/ you degenerate piece of good goy trash

>>52593325
skype is centralised around microsofts servers who relay all the information.

tox is peer 2 peer with no man in the middle. unless it's a group chat.

I know this is just a memebait but Skype actually does leak your IP adress. And to people that aren't even using Skype or are your friends at that.

Are you the german guy or did you talk to him?

same ip "leakage" as torrents or web browsers. so no. its not considered "leaking" unless you're dumb or a troll.

>>52597401
Actually even worse, some chink used shell companies to buy the controlling shares so some anonymous, disingenuous fuck owns it now.

Latest uTox says it is Alpha

>>52600854
Fuck off, weeb.

>>52601118
that's a client, not the protocol. http://beta.tox.chat/

the devs became corrupt, stole money from donations, and minimized the contributions from other devs on the project, leading to most people leaving the project.

>>52601453
sources?

>>52601453
Lol that's what you get for trusting 4chin weebs

The developers are assholes, but Tox itself is amazing. I wish more people would use it.

But hey, its one of the most usable /g/ projects so far. Its not done but its working.

>not using Signal

>>52603141
>using gcm garbage

It failed because it had an awful logo

>>52603204
Look up microG.

>>52603204
>implying gcm matters if the Jewish-made encryption works

>>52603538
It matters insofar as you're required to have (additional) proprietary malware on your device. But see >>52603523 .

Skype doesn't leak your IP so stay with that.

I tried tox once

>slight echo in the background
>cuts out ever 20 seconds
>group calls with over 2 people have absolute garbage audio and cause tox to crash

Looks like I just have to give in to the botnet for now

>>52601197
That's a pretty website.

Remember that time that /g/ decided to make its own torrent client in additon to Tox and neither project ever managed to accomplish even half of what it wanted to accomplish?

>>52611541
>a bunch of unwarranted self importance jobless losers try to achieve something
kek

>>52611541
gtorrent only got up to the logo, too

>>52611541
What exactly did Tox want to accomplish and didn't?

The client works and its the best we have regarding privacy.

>>52613291
>What exactly did Tox want to accomplish and didn't?

It leaked your IP and your donation money as well.

And it's not even out of beta after 2 years.

>>52613313
It does not leak your IP. The donation money was a problem with one developer, not with Tox itself.

So what if its not out of beta? Its perfectly usable. They could've called the current qTox a "1.0 stable release" and it would change literally nothing, because the program works.

Antox is trash.

>>52613418
ok

>>52613418
the performance seems to be better than a few months ago
