Public Peers

This repository contains peering information for publicly accessible nodes on the Yggdrasil network. If you are new to the network then this is a good place to start in order to get connected.

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?

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.
