Thanks for the question!

Agreed, if you need anonymity, use a VPN or other tunneling software to obfuscate your identity, or provide multiple identities. You can run it open on local networks that you trust, say for a life planner DWA that syncs between devices on your home network, otherwise protect your line as you normally would. With a VPN/tunnel you can attain privacy plus anonymity.

Clients don't find one another, they're instructed to connect with each other (very briefly) by users, then everything is passed off to your browser. You will need a friend's address (either IP or domain) to connect.
