Re: [Linphone-users] Are Linphone chat communications encrypted?

[Eric Shields | #MassTransitHonchkrow]

E2E Encryption when it comes to chats requires both participants to be using the same setup. If you send a message that's encrypted to a DID endpoint that doesn't support it, they'll get gibberish.

If you use linphone in P2P mode - over a mesh VPN (where there is
no "VPN server"), then it is e2e encrypted thanks to the VPN.

You add the raw IP6 to your address book on linphone just as easily as a
phone number or domain based sip address.

An article about using Cjdns as the VPN:
