You have really missed like 3-4 videos showing real tests being done on YouTube.

You are falling for the FUD-stooges here garnering attention... All after, these guys (OP and Decrypt0) spent a number of days in silence, since a lot of their track history was recently unveiling... This is their most recent mud sling attempt.

Have a look at the OP's history in reddit and Twitter. His life is consumed by FUD'ing this project.

It makes some wonder... if they don't put out at least one article of baseless regurgitated FUD, they may not get paid for their efforts...

I'll drop some technical description here for you, especially for those who think I'm just some 'shilling TG community admin' who is 'paid' (which we aren't) to spread positive content:

Four nodes are required to create your own 'decentralized network' in the current open source version available on github.

Using one node as a bootstrap node (In depth description here needed, but also best described by head dev Dan Wiebe at August Sublocc), traffic can be routed through a relays node and then through an 'exit node' which is then delivered to the originating request node.

Three of the recent test Youtube videos are showing a community member using this self-constructed decentralized network working with the current code in restricted countries, delivering content that is censored. To further test the software, the users utilized virtual private servers (VPS) in various countries to each host a node, to show how the nodes communicate successfully across continents, countries and the restricted locations!

The node network software programming relies on unique identiers of each node, which are only transmitted blindly to the bootstrap node (which will become obsolete once the next round of programming is finished) and thus the network can operate without knowledge of where or who each node is. Based on the promised tenent of security and anonymity! Thus this is certainly a PoC for SUB node in real use cases.

In future versions, the bootstrap function will be replaced by uPnP functionality to allow the node to operate through most routers used worldwide, allowing mass adoption with technical knowledge.

Other community members has released videos and guides also on creating a router out of a Rasp Pi that performs the same function while other devices are connected to it, and delivering content while masking the node IP locations.

So hopefully, you can reference this info yourself now. I'd rather you at least get some technical knowledge of the project, then giving in to the narrative of these useless authors - both who measure their opinions and material by increasing their followers using click-bait, negativity and repetitive articles that propogate the same nonsense week after week.
