*FAQ* Q: How does Fireside Messenger work without wifi?
A: Fireside operates on the NewNode protocol, which automatically detects the optimal path for your data. If there is no wifi connection, NewNode will route your traffic through a network of connected devices. As long as one of the peer devices down the line has access to a functional mobile network, your device will too. This strategy bypasses the limited central server of typical messenger apps and enables higher levels of connectivity.
