We need pear/holesail connections for all the things

How much to integrate Holesail? It’s Tailscale but without servers, no accounts, and no complicated setup. Just scan QR and you’re connected, encrypted, fast, easy. I’d pay good sats to bring this to life.

its encrypted by default. The whole system is built on public/private keys so it doesn't really matter if its "http" or "https." In fact, as I understand it https would require approval by the certificate authority and registration and all that, which just reintroduces third parties. Best to avoid them entirely, imo.
Oooh, gotcha. Yes it can handle those. I may not have the deets on exactly what it does, but I’m pretty sure it does the hole punching and then uses that connection to establish the UDP. I actually think Mad said Keet is run over UDP now that I think of it… 🤔 If I’m wrong about Keet specifically then it’s something else built on Pear, because I remember talking to Maf about this exact thing.

No, it works for anything TCP and will soon support UDP as well. If you are concerned about the http part, that is only for when you are running websites + it is being served from your local computer to you, so https does not matter here.
