Meshnet

WAT?

Mesh; (802.11s wireless) Imagine a huge autoconfiguring wireless network, completely run by private users of the interwebs. This network is anonymous, autonomous, and free-to-access.

More Informations PLZ

A redundant wireless network consisting of multiple devices privately owned by various users. Each device adds another node for data to travel across. When a device is added, the existing devices will work with the new device as another data node. If a device fails or is otherwise removed, the remaining devices will reconfigure to continue to relay data without the missing/offline node. If one device is connected to the actual internets, all devices and connected users can access the internets from the mesh, though it may be a bit slow.
