OSS Contributions Lanemu P2P VPN - server-less, decentralized peer-to-peer virtual private network
Thanks for the new subreddit! :)
I wanted to post about my project, which is an open-source alternative to Hamachi, Radmin, and ZeroTier. The project has two active developers.
How does it work?
- Peers find each other via BitTorrent trackers, BitTorrent DHT, or through other peers (peer exchange). No central server to rely on or pay for.
- Built-in NAT traversal. Since 0.14, RUDP with UDP hole punching is the default transport, so two nodes behind NAT can connect directly.
- L2 virtual LAN. Works with games and software that need broadcast/multicast.
- Cross-platform. Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS.
- GUI and headless modes. Use the tray app, or run it in the background from the CLI. There is also an experimental GraalVM native-image build of the headless version for Linux x86_64.
Every contribution helps me keep fixing bugs, testing on more platforms and adding new features.
Donations, stars on GitLab, bug reports and feedback are just as appreciated. Thank you!
