Ricochet: Anonymous Messaging You Can Trust
2025-02-14
Ricochet is an experimental peer-to-peer instant messaging system built on the Tor Network. It protects your identity, contact list, and communications without relying on any central servers or operators. Your login is your hidden service address, and contacts connect directly to you via Tor. This makes it extremely difficult to trace your identity. Available for Windows, OS X, and Linux, Ricochet is open-source and user-friendly, but users should carefully assess their risks.
