Jon Udell on various aspects of the WASTE protocol. Although there are a million reasons to use proxies, the one that motivated me was security. I wanted to see if I could encrypt the connection to a remote node, and I wanted to do it without having to implement SSL in my tiny HTTP listener. Today, I'd probably just use STunnel... WASTE nodes are routers; public keys are broadcast; nodes accept broadcast public keys by default. There isn't complete firewall/NAT transparency, but so long as any member of a private network is world-visible, it seems that way. Ad-hoc and administratorless VPN-s are the name of this game.
