cjdns VS The Serval Mesh

From a purely networking perspective, there are far better solutions than tailscale. Have a look at full mesh VPNs like: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go https://github.com/gsliepen/tinc https://github.com/costela/wesher These build actual mesh networks where every node is equal and can serve as a router for other nodes to resolve difficult network topologies... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I'm excited about P2P/decentralized/distributed overlay networks. Still catching up so would be grateful for tips on resources. Pinecone[0][1], newer initiative made by former Yggdrasil[2] maker(s). CJDNS[3]. AIUI CJDNS relies on intermediary high-uptime discoverable router nodes which is what is motivating Pinecone. POKT[4][5] to CJDNS seems like what Filecoin is to IPFS. I'm yet to get around to doing the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

I don’t know if it is still downloadable. The... Source: over 2 years ago

Http://servalproject.org/ It's a way for devices to talk to one another without paying for a service. Look for Mesh networks in your area, they provide free service. You can also make yourself a mesh node or support to help spread it. Source: over 2 years ago

You can also use Mesh services on your phone even if you don't have a sim card. http://servalproject.org/ When my kids were younger we had them all using Serval Mesh for a long time to stay in contact with one another and such but we were fortunate to live in an area with an abundance of free WiFi just about everywhere so it was used sparingly but came in handy in a pinch.
