 ==== Does Tox have plugin support? ==== ==== Does Tox have plugin support? ====
-Currently Tox does not support plugins, though this feature may be added later on. +Currently, the only Tox client that supports plugins is [[clients:toxygen|Toxygen]]. However, Toxygen is not as well-maintained as the popular clients, and its development is currently stalled.

A workaround does exist in the form of [[users:Tox over Tor (ToT)|tunneling your Tox connections through Tor]]. However, a user cannot uncover another user's IP address using only a Tox ID to find the user in the DHT, the IP address will only be discernible when the users become "friends."
