WING Alternatives
WING is described as 'open-source Wireless Mesh Networking platform aimed at hobbyists and enthusiasts'. There are more than 10 alternatives to WING for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, OpenWrt and BSD. The best alternative is GNUnet, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like WING are cjdns (Free, Open Source), Freelan (Free, Open Source), LibreMesh (Free) and telehash (Free, Open Source).
- 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.
- Cjdns is a networking protocol and reference implementation, founded on the ideology that networks should be easy to set up, protocols should scale up smoothly, and security should be ubiquitous.
- A free, open-source, multi-platform, highly-configurable and peer-to-peer VPN software, designed to easily connect remote hosts and mainly focused on security and performance.
