What i liked about PGPfone was that you could directly connect to your
communications partner, without any servers involved and it was super
easy to use. You simply put in the (current) IP Adress, connect and then
read some displayed letters to each other, to prevent MITM, and then
communicated. There was no learning curve involved.

I think i have to look harder to find a cross-platform FOSS solution
that works the same.
