@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ In order to start using n2n, two elements are required:
A virtual network shared between multiple edge nodes in n2n is called a _community_. A single supernode can relay multiple communities and a single computer can be part of multiple communities at the same time. An encryption key can be used by the edge nodes to encrypt the packets within their community.
n2n tries to establish a direct peer-to-peer connection between the edge nodes when possible. When this is not possible (usually due to special NAT devices), the supernode is also used to relay the packets.

Now the two hosts can ping each other.
**IMPORTANT** It is strongly advised to choose a custom community name (`-c`) and a secret encryption key (`-k`) in order to prevent other users from connecting to your computer. For the privacy of your data sent and to reduce the server load of `supernode.ntop.org:7777`, it is also suggested to set up a custom supernode as explained below.
