Hello everyone :-)

First of all, a big compliment and thanks for the development of such a great software.

Is the free version intended to solve the following problem?

the following fact:
I want to use the software to give support to friends and customers. I would like to offer the modified Windows .exe for download.

Problem:
By distributing this .exe, anyone can offer support through my host with my public key.
I installed the service on a small server at home. He has little power.
Also I only have 50,000 Kb upload.
If word gets around that you can use my server, I'll be overloaded pretty quickly.

Possible solution:
You can create supporter accounts on the self-hosted server. Only supporter accounts can request connections to others.
Of course anyone can accept.


I have already seen that issue #109 describes the same problem. Unfortunately, the environment there misunderstood it. The security of the transmission is absolutely OK!
