Newbie Mumble Questions
Posted: 19 Jan 2019, 00:52
I am new to Mumble and had a few questions about the software. I have Mumble on my computer, Murmur on my computer and Pumble on my phone.
I want to use Mumble for voice chat in games. I would like to be able to join mumble servers on my phone or my computer and host a server on my computer whenever I want.
1. When you talk on any mumble server, weather you have a certificate or not will your connection be encrypted?
2. When you join a server for the first time and it asks to generate a certificate for the server, is this needed for an encrypted connection?
3. Mumble when I go to Configure > Certificate Wizard it says I should make a trusted certificate. And when I try to generate one it ask for an email address? Do I need to do this to use Mumble and will my encryption be weak without it?
4. What kind of encryption is used in Mumble?
5. How do I host a private server that is password protected on my computer (No hosting provider) and only have it run when I run murmur?
6. Can I host a private server on my computer and use a VPN to protect my IP? Or will it not be possible to use a VPN to host a server.
The goal is to be able to use Mumble securely with encryption in every instance, not expose my IP by using a VPN weather I am running a private server or connecting to a server in the client.
