    Why would you not use TLS to connect to sites on a mesh network?

      I don’t know, I find people do all sorts of stuff with their networks all the time that has me scratching my head trying to figure out why they set it that way when I am eventually called to fix it.

        that makes sense

        but in this case, the bank, or whatever good site, would probably not even allow non-TLS connections

        and if the mesh necessitates TLS only on an exit node*. Then yeah, that’s a stupid and flawed network. And it also wouldn’t be transparent (in the sense of using just like a normal ISP)

        *I’m not sure how it connects to the rest of the internet, but assuming there are exit nodes that connect to other networks
