On the negative side, your stats page doesn't have a link back to your main page, so you won't even know how many folk had a look based on this HN post. It's a good idea to ensure that all your pages have a link back to your main page.

There are public relays which you can use (automatically unless you disable the feature), so NATing and firewalls shouldn't be an issue.
I think they're upset that the Network Administrator is blocking the system intentionally, not that it didn't make it through in the first place. Don't upset your Network Administrators!
Brilliant piece of software. Perfect to gather data from different devices to backup in the cloud or to sync documents or a massive music collection. The only thing missing is an encrypted external sync node so I can put it on a VPS somewhere
This is the blocker for me too. Support for a zero knowledge server where even if someone gets access to the filesystem on the server, they can only see it encrypted. Other than that, Syncthing is absolutely amazing!
This looks pretty cool, and I'll definitely look at it as a Dropbox replacement.

People aren't really supposed to link to it directly as a means of introducing new people to Syncthing...
It amazes me that Syncthing handles rapidly-changing files better for me than Dropbox. Where Dropbox has left different versions of files on different computers even after they have changed multiple times, Syncthing happily synchronizes them without issues. And the fact that Syncthing is open source and allows me to keep files on my own machines is a big plus. However, I would love to see a paid option for easy backu…

Syncthing is sorely missing iOS support. I know they have their reasons not to implement it[0], but I feel that feature might be worth the hassle. Photo sync on iOS without iCloud is a huge pain atm. My backup strategy involves a NAS folder that stays up to date (i.e. also deletes photos that I delete on my phone), and which I occasionally sort into final location. After that I can free the space on my phone. All oth…
I wish it could be made more efficient somehow.

For those with some spare CPU cycles and bandwidth you can give back to the project by running a relay server. https://docs.syncthing.net/users/strelaysrv.html Eg that VM running a DNS adblocker, from another front page article :)
What are the system requirements for running a relay server? And is there any easy way to configure traffic quotas?

Just a heads up: that almost certainly means SyncThing is failing to recognize some classes of conflicts and concurrency races, and is destroying some changes. Doing this right is a hard problem. I know they can be a pain to deal with, but we don't spin out conflicts for no reason! Disclosure: I work on the Dropbox sync engine.
Fwiw, i frequently get notifications from Syncthing that it's found a conflict it can't resolve and asks me to resolve manually.
