## Peering ##
In order to actually be distributed, you need another person to sync posts with, otherwise what's the point right?
Right now peering information is private, there is no link level authenticatio (yet) so everything is done via either a vpn tunnel or a tor hidden service.
### Peering over tor ###
Install tor
apt-get install tor
Make a tor hidden service point from outside port 119 to port 1199
Add to /etc/tor/torrc:
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/nntp_feed
HiddenServicePort 119 127.0.0.1:1199
restart/reload tor then
cat /var/lib/tor/nntp_feed/hostname
This is your in feed address
Then to peer with someone over tor add this to you feeds.ini
[feed-PeersOnionAddress.onion:119]
proxy-type=socks4a
proxy-host=127.0.0.1
proxy-port=9050
[PeersOnionAddress.onion:119]
overchan=1
ctl=1
### Peering over cjdns ###
Set up cjdns, read more [here](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/doc/configure.md#connection-interfaces)
git clone https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
cd cjdns && ./do
./cjdroute --genconf >> cjdroute.conf
./cjdroute < cjdroute.conf
Get your ipv6 address for cjdns
ip addr show tun0
Edit srnd.ini to bind nntp on that ipv6 address, make sure to use the square brances `[` and `]`
[nntp]
...
bind=[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx:xx....]:1199
Say you have 2 friends at fc33:3:3::aadd and fc03:9f:123::a3df. right now feeds.ini can't take raw ipv6 addresses so add them to `/etc/hosts`
# add these lines to /etc/hosts
fc33:3:3::aadd bob
fc03:9f:123::a3df charlie
Then add to feeds.ini the following:
[feed-bob]
proxy-type=none
[bob]
overchan=1
ctl=1
[feed-charlie]
proxy-type=none
[charlie]
overchan=1
ctl=1
## Options ##
#### You need one connection and one settings block for each connection ####
Here is an example entry in feeds.ini
[feed-aabbccddeeff1122.onion:119]
proxy-type=socks4a
proxy-host=127.0.0.1
proxy-port=9050
[aabbccddeeff1122.onion:119]
overchan=1
ano.paste=0
ctl=1
But what does it mean?
[feed-aabbccddeeff1122.onion:119]
Connection settings for a peer
proxy-type=socks4a
proxy-host=127.0.0.1
proxy-port=9050
Proxy settings, straight forward. Supported proxy types are `socks4a` and `none`
[aabbccddeeff1122.onion:119]
nntp synchronization settings
overchan=1
Sync all boards, use
overchan.bad=0
to prevent certain boards from syncing with certain peers. It can be used to keep bad boards out or keep exclusive boards in
ano.paste=0
This WILL be the nntpchan pastebin, but it's not implimented yet
ctl=1
Allows you to recieve moderation notifications from other boards, it's also used for decentralized moderation
