FilePizza is a peer-to-peer file sharing service using WebRTC to eliminate the need for intermediary servers. It features a modern UI with dark mode, mobile browser support, direct browser-to-browser transfers, password protection, and the use of Redis for out-of-process storage. Users can upload multiple files at once and monitor transfer progress, and files are encrypted during transfer. A hosted instance is available at file.pizza.

<p>Seems very cool ! (I will probably setup an instance)
But since it uses WebRTC and it is based on P2P, IP addresses are known, isn’t it ?
The uploader has the IP address of the receiver who has the address of the uploader.</p>
