That's neat, though I think in some cases, say Intellectual Property on your LAN, or other things, you may want those services ignored I would think? Sounds like setting up IPFS has to become a rather isolated process for some? Which I find kind of limiting if you're forced to go through hoops for something that could be opt-in / configurable at the very least?

Well, all I can defend against that, is that it's still "Alpha Software". There's stuff that's very much not for private or secure networks.

But for working with data that's intended to be open, it's wonderful.
