Lokinet

Infraestrutura 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 .

Infraestrutura P2P Atributos

Origens Anonymous internet access that works for any application: a layer 3 onion-routing network run by staked nodes, developed within the Oxen project
Banco de Dados N/A
Formatos de Dados LLARP onion-routed packets carrying IP traffic; protocol described in the project's docs
Suporte Móvel No: macOS and mobile clients are described as being developed
Suporte Web No browser client; applications use Lokinet as a network layer
Aplicativos Nativos Windows and Linux clients
Termos Free and open source (GPL-3.0 or later); the site links Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy
Fundos Not stated by the project.
Baseado Em Onion routing; the LLARP protocol; the network's nodes are staked, per the site
Arquitetura P2P A decentralised overlay of staked nodes that route onion-encrypted layer 3 traffic; clients choose paths through the network
Rede de Sobreposição Yes: an IP-layer onion-routing overlay, with services addressable inside the network
Endereçamento por Conteúdo No.
Local-First No: network infrastructure rather than a data layer.
Criptografia de Ponta a Ponta (E2EE) Onion-layered encryption between client, relays and destination; the project does not claim application-level end-to-end encryption
Tolerância a Falhas Bizantinas Not stated by the project.
Assinatura Not stated by the project.
Permissões Open to any client; relay and exit operation requires staking, per the site
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo Reference implementation of LLARP at version 0.9.x with a documented protocol; not a standards-body specification
Função de Infraestrutura Anonymous routing and censorship circumvention at the IP layer, with in-network hosting of services
Modelo de Ameaça Network-level surveillance and censorship, with traffic analysis resistance from onion routing; hides client IP and the destination's IP
Modelo de Nó Voluntário Staked nodes run by independent operators, per the site ('a decentralised network of staked nodes')
Visibilidade do Tráfego 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 Implantação Ativa Not stated by the project.
