datroubler Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hello Guys!I read about mumble and I am interested in this software because I can encrypt phone calls. As far as I can see I have to connect to a server. Is it planed to have a list of users in a list (similar to skype) without a server connection?DaTroubler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators kissaki Posted October 30, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2011 No.However, you can easily set up your own server. There is no license required.On windows the server is packaged with the installer; called Murmur. You can install it alongside mumble and run it by double-clicking. On linux most provide packages for the server as well; alternatively you can use the static server.Be aware though that hosting a server, depending on your router, you may have to handle port forwarding etc.Using a server instead of direct client connections is one advantage; clients not having to hassle with such setups. Another is, for skype, you still need a server to initiate the call. So why not use it right away for data transfer? After all, servers most of the time have more bandwidth to distribute the audio data; increasingly with more and more users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
