[Tox Support] Tox chat advice needed

[nurupo]

Hello,

If all you want is a library for network communication that implements NAT
pass-through, you might want to look into Raknet library or find similar
libraries.

You could use Tox in your application, but it might be an overkill for what
you need. All Tox clients use Toxcore library for networking and
encryption. Toxcore encrypts all the communication and it doesn't allow you
to specify an IP address of the person you want to connect to, you have to
use ToxID instead of IP. Toxcore uses DHT to perform the lookup of the
IP:port of the person you want to connect to based on the ToxID, and it
keeps the IP:port information internally, it's not exposed in the public
API of Toxcore. Because Tox participates in DHT, interacting with other DHT
peers, it uses some extra bandwidth, which might not be desirable for your
use. It can easily use a few hundred of MiBs of bandwidth in an hour. If
this is fine by you, then you might be interested in looking at
