How does it work?

  • This app allows you to set up a WebRTC connection between two peers on the internet.
  • Normally peers would visit the same website and talk to the server over websockets to setup their p2p webrtc connection, or use STUN/TURN servers.
  • Red Phone allows you to setup webrtc connection with anyone by doing the signaling over impervious which runs on top of Lightning Network.
  • And since you run your own bitcoin+lightning+impervious+redphone on your own node/server, no other centralized entity knows about your p2p webrtc connection with your peer.
