jbootstrap-dht

The DHT bootstrap server can be used as an introducer to the sectorrent DHT network. Like the ones running at router.sectorrent.com.

SecTorrent clients can use this server to join the DHT, assuming some number of clients are agreeing on using the same server.

If you want to use the Rust version.

Install

You will need to download the jar.
The code can be found here if you wish to build it yourself.

Running

To run the node go to terminal and type

java -jar jbootstrap.jar

	usage: jbootstrap-dht <external-IP> [options]

	OPTIONS:
	--help                prints this message.
	--nodes <n>           sets the number of nodes to keep in
	                      the node buffer. Once full, the oldest
	                      nodes are replaced as new nodes come in.
	--ping-queue <n>      sets the max number of nodes to keep in
	                      the ping queue. Nodes are held in the queue
	                      for 15 minutes.
	--no-verify-id        disable filtering nodes based on their node ID
	                      and external IP (allow any node in on the
	                      node list to hand out).
	--ipv6 <ip>           listen for IPv6 packets on the given address
	                      can be specified more than once
	--version <version>   The client version to insert into all outgoing
	                      packets. The version format must be 2 characters
	                      followed by a dash and an integer.
	--dir <path>          specify the directory where the node buckets are
	                      stored on disk. Defaults to ".".
	--port <listen-port>  Sets the port to listen on (for all interfaces)
	                      defaults to 6881
	--x-pollinate <ip> <port>
	                      if the ping queue becomes too small, request more
	                      nodes from this DHT node.

Port Forwarding

To port forward here is a guide. However we have an option to use UPnP to also open the port for you.
