Odin

# Odin **Odin** is a decentralized peer-to-peer application via the **BitTorrent** network stack. For sharing data, a **pns://** URI is provided, which consists basically of a peer id, which enables others to find your node on the network. ## General The basic characteristics of the app are decentralized, respect of personal data, open source, free of charge, transparent, free of advertising and legally impeccable. ## Documentation **Odin** is a client server implementation and based on the BitTorrent network. The application itself requires the **IPv6** protocol to function properly. When you are behind a router you might be able to switch to the **IPv6** protocol and make the necessary settings, so that your service is globally reachable (Port Forwarding). ### Port Forwarding Port forwarding allows you to specify that all communications received on a certain port are forwarded directly to your device. You set port forwarding rules up on your router. The following list provides information which might be required for the port forwarding. - **Interface** IPv6 Note: Only IPv6 is supported, because a direct connection between two peers can only be established when they use the same IP interface - **Port** 5001 - **Protocol** TCP Note: The protocol is TCP. The direct connection between two peers will be established via a secure TCP connection, protected by a self-signed certificate. - **Application** Odin Note: Usually can be any name ### Concept The application connect to **BitTorrent** network and publish its addresses, so that it can be found by other peers via a unique identifier (pid). This peer identifier () is also used for marking the content via the**pns:///** URI. (Note: is a content identifier) ## Links [Privacy Policy](https://gitlab.com/lp2p/odin/-/blob/master/POLICY.md)
