Each user's home server runs an IPFS node and holds their pointers and incoming requests; you can talk to any server because writes are forwarded to the home node, and what travels is ciphertext and a signed pointer; users on different servers share directly; no central server stores or watches your data; a home server can be at home.

It is what makes "any server" literal.

Every user has a home server. It runs an IPFS node, holds your pointers, and keeps the requests other users send you.

But you can talk to any Peergos server. Your home has a forwarding address.

A write is forwarded to your home node over an encrypted peer to peer stream. What travels is ciphertext and a signed pointer. The server that forwards it learns nothing it can use.

Users on different servers share with each other directly. No central server stores your data or watches it move.

And a home server can be at home. A small machine, on your own connection.

Check yourself. What does the server that forwards a write actually see?
