Galet is a peer-to-peer application, which primarily aims to provide easy to setup secure communication channels between the computers of people who know and trust each other. Its secondary goal is to create a public network based on these channels. No direct connection occur between two nodes that has not been explicitly accepted by the users of theses nodes. This makes the network very difficult to censor, as an attacker's direct access to the network is limited.
As Galet features tunneling, it can also be used as a very easy to set-up VPN.
Galet is written in C++/Qt, and has been tested under Linux and Windows.

This release features improved support for Mac OS X and proper chat windows, with the possibility to discuss with people you are not directly connected to (e.g. if Alice knows Bob, who knows Carol, who knows Dave, they can all chat together). Also, thanks to Denis, the French translation is finally in French :-).
Wow, its been a while. The last release was rather user-unfriendly (or even user-hostile), so I decided to make Galet prettier and easier to use. As a consequence I rewrote the whole thing in C++/Qt (it was Java before). Galet now features a nice GUI and a pretty initalisation Wizard :-). The crypto is also now quite good (as far as I can see). Anyway, It Works For Me (TM), so here goes.
- How does it work?
- Why the name 'Galet'?
- Can I connect to your node?
- What do you mean by 'secure communication channel'?
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any bug report, feature request or question.
