## Privacy
Traffic over Reticulum is end-to-end encrypted and anonymized between the client and the server using Reticulum's native Link encryption (X25519 and AES-256) and anonymity features. For internet traffic, use HTTPS/TLS to ensure the server operator cannot see your data contents. If operators are using wireshark, they will still be able to see what websites/IP you are connecting to.
