I Built a Chat Server That Cannot Read Your Messages — Here's How

How I Built a Chat Server That Can't Read Your Messages Most "encrypted" chat apps encrypt the connection . The server still decrypts every message, reads it, then re-encrypts it for the recipient. You're trusting the server operator — and every employee, contractor, and attacker who ever gets access to that machine. I wanted to build something different. A chat server that is mathematically incapable of reading your messages — not by policy, not by promise, but by design. If you hand the server's private keys to an attacker, they still get nothing. The result is NoEyes — a terminal-based E2E encrypted chat tool with a blind-forwarder server. 👉 https://github.com/Ymsniper/NoEyes The Core Idea: The Blind Forwarder The server in NoEyes does exactly one thing: route packets. It reads a small plaintext JSON header at the front of each frame to find out where the packet should go, then forwards the encrypted payload verbatim without touching it. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────
