it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,
it is using strong encryption.
but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI
And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …
If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/
if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.
After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.
in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.
add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.
best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.
If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.
please read http://redd.it/18vsq5
or question me here :)
