cobalt was created for public benefit, to protect people from ads and malware pushed by alternative downloaders.
|
|

all requests to the backend are anonymous and all information about potential file tunnels is encrypted.
|
|
we have a strict zero log policy and don't store or track *anything* about individual people.
|
|
|
|
if a request requires additional processing, such as remuxing or transcoding, cobalt processes media
|
|
directly on your device. this ensures best efficiency and privacy.
|
|
|
|
if your device doesn't support local processing, then server-based live processing is used instead.
|
|
in this scenario, processed media is streamed directly to client, without ever being stored on server's disk.
|
|
|
|
you can [enable forced tunneling](/settings/privacy#tunnel) to boost privacy even further.
|
|
when enabled, cobalt will tunnel all downloaded files, not just those that require it.
|
|
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!
