It's a great way to connect with hackers and other peers, and is also ideal for learning networking.

I love the dn42. It's a perfect opportunity to try out networking and routing technologies. Furthermore, it is not as strict as the Clearnet. In addition, you can use different software/hardware (be it bird, frr or VyOS for routing and IXPs, WireGuard, OpenVPN, QuickTun or Tinc for the links).

From the website i am unsure if it has a GUI or what is a real world use and also contact is missing. I am not using IRC.

Depending on which BGP daemon and VPN service you use, there may also be a GUI.

What is dn42?

dn42 can be used to learn networking and to connect private networks, such as hackerspaces or community networks. But above all, experimenting with routing in dn42 is fun!
