What digger sees.

Traffic to your public address travels through our server before reaching your machine, so we can see metadata: your IP, the IPs of people connecting to you, byte counts, port assignments, and timestamps. We don't read the payload, but we could — most game protocols aren't encrypted. If that's a problem, the source is at github.com/digger-gg/digger-client and you can run your own relay. Your local machine is only reachable on the ports you tunnel. Anyone who learns your public host:port can try to connect — same risk profile as forwarding the port on your router. Sign-in goes through Google via Firebase. There's no DDoS protection, no rate limiting, and no SLA. This is open beta.
