The hubsoft sends the KP in INF to all other users supporting KEYP. That way the remote clients that want to connect to you already know what the hash of the client certificate has to be, and that way can make sure they are connecting to the correct client.

Yes but i mean, can the hub see ?kp=SHA256/c249ymrx92m3yhrx032hrx2h3rasdasd in address: address:1234?kp=SHA256/c249ymrx92m3yhrx032hrx2h3rasdasd

So the client can disconnect user there try join whit out KEYP, don't get the hash send to client.

The KP in the address is so the client can verify that KP against the hash of the server certificate it receives from the hub. It's not broadcasted to the hub, since that would be pointless. So no, the hub doesn't receive the KP in the address from the client.

In other words: the KP in the address is not a tool for the hub, it's for the client to confirm it's connecting to the expected hub.
