# Public Peers
|
|
|
|
This repository contains peering information for publicly accessible nodes on
|
|
the Yggdrasil network.
|
|
|
|
Note that not all peers in this repository are guaranteed to be online - check
|
|
the [Public Peers](https://publicpeers.neilalexander.dev/) page instead to find
|
|
peers that are online now.
|
|
|
|
In most cases, public peers should be accessible by adding the string provided
|
|
for each peer to the `Peers: []` section of your `yggdrasil.conf` configuration
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Example in `yggdrasil.conf`:
|
|
```
|
|
Peers:
|
|
[
|
|
tcp://a.b.c.d:e
|
|
tcp://d.c.b.a:e
|
|
tcp://[a:b:c::d]:e
|
|
tcp://[d:c:b::a]:e
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How do I pick peers?
|
|
|
|
If you are new to the network then take a look at the [Public Peers](https://publicpeers.neilalexander.dev/)
|
|
page to find public peers that are online.
|
|
|
|
Always try to pick peers that are as close to you geographically as possible, as
|
|
this will keep the latency of the network down.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a home connection then you should avoid peering with any nodes
|
|
that are far away, as you may end up carrying traffic for the rest of the
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
For normal usage, you probably only need 2 or 3 peers.
|
|
|
|
### TLS peers
|
|
|
|
As of Yggdrasil v0.3.11, peering connections over TLS are now possible. This hides
|
|
the peering connection inside a regular TLS session, which can help in some cases
|
|
where firewalls or deep packet inspection may identify or block regular Yggdrasil
|
|
peering traffic.
|
|
|
|
TLS public peers are identified by the prefix `tls://` instead of `tcp://`.
|
|
|
|
Note that, due to the additional layer of encryption, performance via TLS peers
|
|
may be slightly worse than via regular `tcp://` peers.
