Magic-Wormhole
The Magic-Wormhole Transit Relay server enables secure, high-bandwidth data transfer between clients, even behind NATs.
Description
The Magic-Wormhole Transit Relay is a server that facilitates secure, high-bandwidth data transfer between two clients, even when they are behind Network Address Translators (NATs). It acts as an intermediary, establishing a connection between the clients and allowing them to exchange data as if they had a direct connection. This project was initially part of the main Magic-Wormhole repository but was separated for improved deployment and development. The relay server uses the Twisted framework in Python and is designed for reliability and scalability. It's Open Source and uses the MIT license. The project includes comprehensive documentation and testing for ease of use and maintenance.
