![]() ![]() Visiting websites on the Tor network can be slow and cumbersome. Remote connections to your Embassy (when you are on the go) are handled via tor. This domain is not broadcast outside of your local network, so it is as private and secure as your LAN. This is known as a “zeroconf,” or zero-configuration service, meaning that you can instantly visit a human-recognizable domain name, such as embassy.local from your network. Multicast Domain Name System (MDNS) is a protocol that resolves a human-readable hostname to an IP address on a small network, such as the home or office network you might host your Embassy on. Your certificate is created when you initially setup your Embassy, or migrate to a new version of the OS, such as 0.3.0. In the case of your Embassy, you are the CA, and you sign your own certificate. The website will present your browser with an SSL certificate showing that the owner of the website has been authenticated by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA). When you visit an SSL website (one with the prefix), the connection is secured using SSL/TLS encryption. ![]() To avoid snooping, your Embassy’s LAN communications are encrypted using SSL, which requires additional setup. Any device connected to a LAN can inspect all communications on that LAN. ![]()
