Wondering if compressing encrypted data makes it bigger. Generally if encryption is reasonable, you cannot compress.

I compress before encryption using the compress function in Reticulum. Thatès make a good difference in size for text. I only compress if is compressable.
So the server does Gemini on behalf of the client? Confused about how it all works. Is the ultimate client also a Gemini browser? Do you decrypt, compress, and send that where?
Not heckling, just trying to figure it out

In part, yes .
The Client Proxy (on local machine) send link to the server in the Reticulum Stack. The server send link to gemini and analyse, compress and send the capsule back to the proxy. Some exceptions, the redirect is done by the server and not the Browser, it is more quicker this way when using Lora radio over Reticulum.

Important in your Lagrange client to add config in the network gemini proxy, localhost:1965.
I made many test at 1.5 km of distance at a speed 3.12 kps on lora. Working great.
Thank you, that sounds great.
Nice! This sounds almost sci-fi! 🖖

Connect your Gemini browser over Lora with Reticulum. The new version of RetiGemiProxy compress data, server made the redirect instead of client (more speed), Public Server availlable without certificated, Private server with certificated, multiples connections on the server.
