Odin

# Odin

**Odin** is a decentralized peer-to-peer application via the **BitTorrent**

network stack. For sharing data, a **pns://** URI is provided, which consists basically of a peer

id, which enables others to find your node on the network.

## General

The basic characteristics of the app are decentralized, respect of personal data,

open source, free of charge, transparent, free of advertising and legally impeccable.

## Documentation

**Odin** is a client server implementation and based on the BitTorrent network.

The application itself requires the **IPv6** protocol to function properly.

When you are behind a router you might be able to switch to the **IPv6** protocol and make the

necessary settings, so that your service is globally reachable (Port Forwarding).

### Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows you to specify that all communications received on a certain port are

forwarded directly to your device. You set port forwarding rules up on your router. The following

list provides information which might be required for the port forwarding.

- **Interface** IPv6

Note: Only IPv6 is supported, because a direct connection between two peers can only be

established when they use the same IP interface

- **Port** 5001
