On the subject of rendezvous, some years ago I came across a personal P2P project where the author provided an unusual, additional, alternative method for a peer to succinctly and confidentially provide another peer with their address via any arbitrary web page, e.g., a pastebin. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find this project again. Running one's own rendezvous server that only serves up peer addresses and passes no traffic between peers is relatively easy and inexpensive, but being a remote server still it requires some maintenance. This author had thought about other possible means of exchanging addresses over the public internet. IME that is unusual in P2P projects.
