no i mean anonymous, by creating new random account on every call (in
this case we have to trust ostel.co - guardian project).

perhaps i have a error in reasoning. why you need vpn for it? for e.g.
with linphone you can tunnel the traffic over tcp

jitsi is not working without udp. and: i think zrtp is better supported
by linphone

i don´t know gsoc ... but normally google don´t give anything without

current tails: yes i think so. but i don´t have bluetooth - so i can´t
test it (wireshark).
