Description

Right now, MQTT doesn't quite fulfill the dream of unlimited range "just works" communication, but it seems like there are protocols out there that can.

A node could subscribe to the corresponding global database key or topic or whatever, for every user it sees in the local mesh, and forward all traffic it sees in those keys to the mesh.

It could also forward all unicast traffic to the web, unless it knows the recipient was recently seen in physical mesh range.

You could also manually configure entire private channels to be forwarded that way.

Everything could be E2E encrypted on the mesh, with only raw encrypted packets touching the internet.

You could also apply an additional layer of encryption, so that you could link public channel traffic between two repeaters, but on a private MQTT key, without allowing random strangers to mess with traffic, or having to in any way link with anything global which might have an overwhelming amount of traffic.

End users would not need to know the private link codes, and people outside physical range of linked repeaters couldn't send any spam.
