cobalt was created for public benefit, to protect people from ads and malware
|
||
|
|
pushed by its alternatives. we believe that the best software is safe, open, and
|
||
|
|
accessible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
it's possible to keep the main instances up thanks to our long-standing
|
||
|
|
infrastructure partner, [royalehosting.net]({partners.royalehosting})!

all requests to the backend are anonymous and all information about tunnels is
|
||
|
|
encrypted. we have a strict zero log policy and don't track *anything* about
|
||
|
|
individual people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
when a request needs additional processing, cobalt processes files on-the-fly.
|
||
|
|
it's done by tunneling processed parts directly to the client, without ever
|
||
|
|
saving anything to disk. for example, this method is used when the source
|
||
|
|
service provides video and audio channels as separate files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
additionally, you can [enable forced tunneling](/settings/privacy#tunnel) to
|
||
|
|
protect your privacy. when enabled, cobalt will tunnel all downloaded files. no
|
||
|
|
one will know where you download something from, even your network provider. all
|
||
|
|
they'll see is that you're using a cobalt instance.

cobalt is used by countless artists, educators, and content creators to do what
|
||
|
|
they love. we're always on the line with our community and work together to make
|
||
|
|
cobalt even more useful. feel free to [join the conversation](/about/community)!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we believe that the future of the internet is open, which is why cobalt is
|
||
|
|
[source first](https://sourcefirst.com/) and [easily
|
||
|
|
self-hostable]({docs.instanceHosting}).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if your friend hosts a processing instance, just ask them for a domain and [add
|
||
|
|
it in instance settings](/settings/instances#community).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
you can check the source code and contribute [on github]({contacts.github}) at
|
||
|
|
any time. we welcome all contributions and suggestions!

newest features, such as [remuxing](/remux), work locally on your device.
|
||
|
|
on-device processing is efficient and never sends anything over the internet. it
|
||
|
|
perfectly aligns with our future goal of moving as much processing as possible
|
||
|
|
to the client.
