Terminal Phone – E2EE Walkie Talkie from the Command Line▲322
TerminalPhone is a single, self-contained Bash script that provides anonymous, end-to-end encrypted voice and text communication between two parties over the Tor network. It operates as a walkie-talkie: you record a voice message, and it is compressed, encrypted, and transmitted to the remote party as a single unit. You can also send encrypted text messages during a call. No server infrastructure, no accounts, no phone numbers. Your Tor hidden service .onion address is your identity.

I built a simple, ephemeral chat service that connects you only with users who share the exact same public IP address as you. It's essentially a temporary, isolated chat room defined by your NAT gateway. It's not super useful nowadays, but let's see where this takes us. :)
