I read about a project once - maybe anyone here can help me find the name of it again. As I recall:

- popular in Europe, particularly Germany or the Netherlands?

- some kind of mesh routing, but connected to the Internet

- reports of people using it having better connectivity to the Internet at large than just by connecting to their ISP unaugmented. If I recall correctly, this was because the "magic" mesh detected routing problems (such as censor blocks) and routed traffic through other nodes

Did I dream this up or does this ring a bell with anyone?
