**Moreover! Each node doesn't even need to know the other's ip address prior to starting up the connection.** This makes Hyprspace perfect for devices that frequently migrate between locations but still require a constant virtual ip address.

### So How Does Hyprspace Compare to Something Like Wireguard?

[Wireguard](https://wireguard.com) is an amazing VPN written by Jason A. Donenfeld. If you haven't already, definetly go check it out! Wireguard actually inspired me to write Hyprspace. That said, although Wireguard is in a class of it's own as a great VPN, it requires at least one of your nodes to have a public IP address. In this mode, as long as one of your nodes is publicly accessible, it can be used as a cental relay for you to contact the other nodes in the network. However this means that all of the traffic for your entire system is going through that one node which can slow down your network and makes it fradgile if that node goes down you loose the whole network. So instead say that you want each node to be able to directly connect to eachother as they do in Hyprspace. Unfortunetly through Wireguard this would require every node to be publicly addressible which means manual port forwarding and no travelling nodes.

By contrast Hyprspace allows all of your nodes to connect directly to eachother creating a stong reliable network even if they're all behind their own firewalls. No manual port forwarding required!
