A colony will have different economics, but similar fundamentals—there’ll be different metering and expectations for links to earth than locally, and application-specific proxies
Application-specific proxies mean that the end-user on Mars can’t simply use whatever software from earth they want to use but has to ask the general proxy management entity specifically to setup a proxy for the application they want to use.
IPFS skips that and allows everything to work without setting up application-specific proxies.
To the extend that it’s old technology we now have more access control technology that makes sure that software is downloaded from the official server and not any other provider.
