Description

Lantern is an open source, peer-to-peer file sharing application and software. It enables users to securely and anonymously share large files with friends and colleagues, without needing to use a centralized server or cloud storage. It utilizes a distributed network of nodes to securely transmit files among users. Unlike traditional file sharing applications, Lantern does not rely on a centralized server for transmission. Instead, it uses a mesh network of users, or “nodes,” to relay data between users. These nodes are distributed around the world, ensuring that all data is securely and privately transmitted. All data is encrypted and stored locally on each user’s machine, preventing any third-party access. Lantern is designed to be easy to use, even for novice users. It has a simple, intuitive user interface and requires no technical knowledge. Users can easily search, download, and share files with friends and colleagues. It also allows users to set up their own private networks, and share files within their own circle of contacts. Lantern is an ideal tool for securely sharing large files, and for keeping data private. It is an open source software, so users can be sure that their data is safe and secure.
