    La Kad network it is a more advanced file sharing concept than using eMule servers.
    With eMule servers, each person must connect to the server in order to “talk” with other users; with the Kad network, in practice, it is as if everyone were a server and everyone contributes to the "construction" of the network.
    This sharing model is quite similar to the one used for torrent file sharing.




    But let's get to the point and see how to use the Kad network of eMule without eMule server. First of all make sure you use the latest version of eMule.

    To work, the Kad network needs to know at least some users who are already connected to the network itself, this information is then stored in the file nodes.dat so you can connect immediately when you connect again in the future, however this data is already present if you have installed the latest version of eMule.

    Then just go to the tab Kad click on Connect and then use eMule normally;

    Just as with eMule servers it is better to have a high ID, even on the Kad network it is better not to be in the Firewalled state.
    You can understand if you are in this state by seeing if the eMule icon has a black blindfold and if the Kad network connection status icon has a yellow arrow (firewalled) instead of green: only if the arrow refers to the Kad network is green (as in the image below) your connection is not firewalled.
