> Relaying and scattering traffic across neighboring peers (and handshakes via multicast DNS, for example) would fix a lot of the issues you'll get with Briar, but I guess that would imply a refactor of the codebase.

Is this even technically possible?


Thanks. Exactly how can I send this page to my friends and family back in Iran?

You cannot, they are on their own with what they have. My genuine condolences and sympathy.

Most Iranians cannot effort Starlink.

To clarify I added ""technically" to the question: My immediate goal is finding a way to reach relatives during this blackout. More importantly, how to build a resilient, long-term communication fail-safe so we aren't cut off when we are connected and the next shutdown happens.

The blackout itself isn't the primary issue; it's the information vacuum it creates. I haven't been able to reach my relatives for 104 hours, and that lack of transparency, not the lack of connectivity, is what is truly terrifying.
