Re: An inside network

Howdy,
I've been toying with the idea (for a long time), of building an "inside internet", well more than toying, I'm playing with it. If you are curious you'll get the idea here: https://intus.top
That sounds similar to things like the Dark Web, Tor network, etc..?
Yeah probably.
I dont know how the Dark Web is setup, never really looked into it, but Tor is a little different. While I guess both provide "inside networks", the difference is in the implementation.
yygdrasil (which is what intus.top) is built on, is point-to-point encrypted connections, tunnelling an IP6 network - so your apps talk IP6 and the transport is yygdrasil point-to-point encrypted. Its actually very quick, so there is no noticable latency for connection or usage. I pretty much exclusively connect to my BBS over, and I forget I'm on an enrypted tunnel.
Whereas I think tor is multi-hop, so no system knows where a packet comes from. That by definition means you are dependant on somebody else (or more) for a connection to be established, and finally your packet to get to its destination. While I havent used tor extensively, I have tried to browse or connect to some services over it, and it was slow... :(
