Tox

Tox is a peer-to-peer messaging protocol that allows users to communicate securely and privately over the internet. It uses encryption to ensure that messages, voice calls, and video chats are only accessible to the intended recipients, protecting against eavesdropping and surveillance. Tox operates without centralized servers, relying instead on decentralized networks, which enhances privacy and resilience. It is often used for confidential conversations, group chats, and file sharing, providing a free, open-source alternative to traditional messaging platforms with a strong focus on user privacy.
