    GNUnet info, screenshots & reviewsAlternatives to GNUnet
    GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing. Anonymity is provided by making messages originating from a peer indistinguishable from messages that the peer is routing. All peers act as routers and use link-encrypted connections with stable bandwidth utilization to communicate with each other. GNUnet uses a simple, excess-based economic model to allocate resources. Peers in GNUnet monitor each others behavior with respect to resource usage; peers that contribute to the network are rewarded with better service.

    The biggest change, cryptographic primitives: "GNUnet used RSA 2048 since its inception in 2001, but as of GNUnet 0.10.0, we are powered by Curve25519". This change "breaks backwards compatibility entirely".

    Said about GNUnet as an alternative

    gintoki Very much so services which offer a similar featureset
    Positive comment • 8 months ago • as an alternative to   ZeroTier

    ZeroTier and GNUNet are not VPNs: they're virtual peer-to-peer network systems, rather than a point-to-network solution like WireGuard or OpenVPN.
