## What it is
olcRTC is an encrypted TCP-over-WebRTC tunnel written in Go that disguises traffic as ordinary video calls on whitelisted meeting services (Jitsi, Yandex Telemost, WbStream). It exposes a SOCKS5 interface on the client, uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption with smux multiplexing, and ships as a CLI plus an embeddable Go library with Android bindings.

## Use cases
- bypass network whitelists that only allow video call services
- tunnel TCP traffic through WebRTC data channels
- circumvent internet censorship on restricted networks
- disguise proxy traffic as a Jitsi video call
- run a SOCKS5 proxy over an encrypted WebRTC tunnel
- access blocked websites from a corporate or school network

## When to choose
- your network whitelists video conferencing services like Jitsi or Telemost
- you need a self-hosted censorship-circumvention tunnel with strong encryption
- you want a Go library or Android client for WebRTC-based tunneling

## When to avoid
- your target meeting service is not on the provider allow list
- you need a mature, audited VPN or proxy solution - the project is in beta
- you cannot run your own server endpoint with a matching room ID and key
