Lokinet

Infraestructura P2P

An anonymous, decentralised, IP-based overlay network. Lokinet is the reference implementation of LLARP, the low latency anonymous routing protocol, a layer 3 onion-routing protocol, so that ordinary applications can use it without being rewritten. Traffic is onion-routed and Lokinet hides both a user's IP address and the IP addresses they connect to; the network is run by a decentralised set of staked nodes, and it can host services reachable only inside the network. Clients are available for Windows and Linux, with macOS and mobile clients described as in development. The project's site says nobody can shut it down and nobody can spy on users, which are the project's own claims .

Infraestructura P2P Atributos

Orígenes Anonymous internet access that works for any application: a layer 3 onion-routing network run by staked nodes, developed within the Oxen project
Base de Datos N/A
Formatos de Datos LLARP onion-routed packets carrying IP traffic; protocol described in the project's docs
Soporte Móvil No: macOS and mobile clients are described as being developed
Soporte Web No browser client; applications use Lokinet as a network layer
Aplicaciones Nativas Windows and Linux clients
Términos Free and open source (GPL-3.0 or later); the site links Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy
Fondos Not stated by the project.
Basado En Onion routing; the LLARP protocol; the network's nodes are staked, per the site
Arquitectura P2P A decentralised overlay of staked nodes that route onion-encrypted layer 3 traffic; clients choose paths through the network
Red de Superposición Yes: an IP-layer onion-routing overlay, with services addressable inside the network
Direccionamiento por Contenido No.
Local-First No: network infrastructure rather than a data layer.
Cifrado de Extremo a Extremo (E2EE) Onion-layered encryption between client, relays and destination; the project does not claim application-level end-to-end encryption
Tolerancia a Fallos Bizantinos Not stated by the project.
Firma Not stated by the project.
Permisos Open to any client; relay and exit operation requires staking, per the site
Madurez del Protocolo / Estandarización Reference implementation of LLARP at version 0.9.x with a documented protocol; not a standards-body specification
Función de Infraestructura Anonymous routing and censorship circumvention at the IP layer, with in-network hosting of services
Modelo de Amenazas Network-level surveillance and censorship, with traffic analysis resistance from onion routing; hides client IP and the destination's IP
Modelo de Nodo Voluntario Staked nodes run by independent operators, per the site ('a decentralised network of staked nodes')
Visibilidad del Tráfico Onion-routed, so the project says no single relay learns both who a user is and where they connect; the cited sources give no further detail
Escala de Despliegue Activo Not stated by the project.
