## What is IP Messenger?

Also known as IPMsg, IP Messenger is a free LAN messenger app available in both Japanese and English but geared towards a Nipponese userbase. It enables employees to communicate internally via their Local Area Network (LAN) or other networks, with other users of this app without the need for a server. It works as a pop-up chat and file transfer interface available for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Android. It uses TCP/IP (UDP) protocol, RSA 2048-bit + AES 256-bit message encryption, and PKCS1 public-key cryptography.

Cons

Need to improve this things. 1. Provide this software in all operating system. 2. Also give feature like online and offline. That means like skype functionality as well as ip messager. 3. Give features like video and audio calling for LAN. This is use case for big company. Who want offline LAN video calling.

Reasons for choosing IP Messenger

Because I want LAN connected features only and want secure.
