I started using Wippien to make p2p connections between 2 distant Windows Servers. I use 2 different GMail Accounts.

Wippien uses "Mediators" to initiate the connection. But are mass data transfers really direct, or is it routed through the mediator?

I also found this article which seems related: Direct TCP/IP connections in P2P apps

How can I find out if the connection is direct and how can I find out about speed?

The connection seems slow while I transfer files, but this is not measured but only my first impression.

Wippien does use a direct connection.

It only uses servers for settings IP adresses and breaking through the firewall.

I suggest you use a real VPN solution, something like OpenVPN for example.

  • I must say, i tried to set up a real VPN solution and without any links to guides or anything this is pretty much a useless comment. – Timo Huovinen May 01 '10 at 16:28
  • Harsh. First Google result for "OpenVPN howto" tells you everything you need to know. http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html – tomfanning May 04 '10 at 11:15
