- None of your data is ever stored anywhere else than on your computers. There is no central server that might be compromised, legally or illegally.
- All communication is secured using TLS. The encryption used includes perfect forward secrecy to prevent any eavesdropper from ever gaining access to your data.
- Every node is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate. Only nodes you have explicitly allowed can connect to your cluster.
- Configure and monitor Syncthing via a responsive and powerful interface accessible via your browser.
- Syncthing doesn’t need IP addresses or advanced configuration: it just works, over LAN and over the Internet.
