Data transferred between network subscribers is reliably encrypted using GnuPG and OpenSSL tools. Also, the program supports Tor and I2P technologies, thanks to which, users can incognito stay in the Internet space and exchange information.

RetroShare has a built-in messenger that resembles ICQ in design and functionality. It allows you to exchange text messages, add smileys and pictures, make video and voice calls and transfer small files. In addition, the programme has an internal e-mail address that allows for confidential correspondence. Using additional functions of the client, subscribers of the network will be able to communicate in private and public chats and exchange information in forums. The program also supports news channels. By subscribing to your friends' news feeds, you will be able to discuss interesting news and evaluate the best positions. All this will help to unite people into various thematic communities and create a large information space.

We bought this software to communicate and share securely with our colleagues, the software exceeded our expectations and the cost was very reasonable. We would recommend this software to anyone with similar needs. We found the software very easy to install and maintain, and getting started with using it was really easy.
