NeoComm tries to avoid any dependency on any central servers in order to avoid central control and censorship of the network itself. For this reason NeoComm works using the torrent [DHT network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table), meaning that the more you connect to the network the less reliant you are on any given node and new users can connect to specific nodes if they are blocked to the default ones. Nodes can be remembered from the last connection in order to reconnect to these same nodes instead of the default ones. NeoComm tries to avoid any dependency on any central servers in order to avoid central control and censorship of the network itself. For this reason NeoComm works using a [DHT network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table), the technology used in torrenting to allow for nodes to aid each other in peer discovery. This means that the more you connect to the network the less reliant you are on any given node and that new users can connect to specific peer nodes if they are blocked to the default entry nodes. This is because the address of nodes from the previous session can be exported onto your hard disk and reused in later sessions, removing the need to rely on the default entry nodes.
