Re: [Seeks-users] Pros and Cons of using IPSec for DHT routing and P2P transport ?

[Alexandre C. P. <ale...@la...>]

 From my point of view,
i think it would be better to use ssl instead of IPSec.

For indirect technical reason.

First of all IPSec is designed to connect ip network (like wan) and not 
for application dial.

More over SSL/TLS is well known and used for Software to Software secure 
dial.

I will conclude by the fact that SSL is recognized on 443 port as https 
which usually is an easy way to pass-through firewalls and proxies.


So to be able to reach the most possible nodes i would recommend ssl.
