A little more background info for my fellow HN people:
I've spent that last 8 years building privacy technology at Safing as Co-Founder/CTO. The biggest technological achievement there was undoubtedly the SPN (previously called Port17/Gate17): A privacy network (ie. a layer-5 proxy), fitting in the niche between VPNs and Tor. Impossible to misconfigure, good speeds and way superior privacy to VPNs using onion encryption and decoupled authentication/authorization. Funnily enough, this (decoupled auth) is what was later implemented by Apple Private Relay and Google One VPN.
SPN worked great for the most part, but scaling was hard. With the decision to make it a layer-5 proxy for decreased metadata and improved privacy, this meant that also traffic and congestion control had to be re-implemented - no easy feat, and still causing issues.
Meanwhile, I have followed and read a lot about cjdns and Yggdrasil over the past few years and was intrigued by their ideas how to do networking.
After some interesting talks in November 2023, I was at the point where I just wanted to know how far I would get - with all the experience and knowledge I had up to that point - implementing a scalable layer-3 mesh network, that still allowed for some privacy and full security. I spent most evenings of a couple months building it and was surprised how well it went.
Sadly, after a decent MVP and a first friend using it in small scale production, I did not have the time to work on it further.
But I am currently starting a new project, where I will make good use of it, so it will see quite some more development in the coming years!
So, Mycoria works, at least on small scale for now, but is more or less MVP.
Thanks for reading, I hope you have fun poking around and trying it out!
I am also happy to answer any questions you have here!
