Connect is the gateway component of ciXnet: a way into the network and a place for LXMF messages to wait for recipients who are offline.
Connecting to the network
A gateway accepts Reticulum connections and carries traffic to other reachable destinations. It provides an entry point for clients connecting over an existing IP link.
Our host software combines inbound Reticulum TCP connectivity, LXMF propagation and hosted information pages. The service identities and destinations are separate, even when they run on the same computer.
Messages for offline recipients
LXMF propagation stores encrypted messages for later retrieval. A connected client can retrieve messages addressed to it when it returns. This is part of how we make messaging useful when people are not online at the same time.
Connection settings
The public gateway endpoint and propagation address have not been announced. They will be listed here when the service is ready for outside connections.
