    Wireguard is p2p.

    EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

          How do I learn this power? Don’t you still need at least one server exposed?

            Afaik you need some external resource to coordinate the punch. The STUN protocol is purpose built for this, and both clients need to be able to reach a STUN server to coordinate which port and public IP they’ll try to connect to each other on. I assume this does something similar but with p2p network tech instead of a STUN server.
