More anonymising networks and solutions

With or without the in the in the Introductory Guide to Safety during Social Instability mentioned anonymising tools like I2P, VPN and Tor, many more anonymising networks are possible. I recommend not playing “The King Is Dead, Long Live The King” games but to use the open source networks and solutions that provide users with control. It may take a bit of work, or a local geek’s bit of work, but it’s well worth not being dependent on government and corporations. For one, it’s cheaper.


OrangeMesh

OrangeMesh is a simple, open source network management dashboard for ROBIN based networks. It helps communities, individuals, and business create and manage wireless mesh networks without any reliance on third parties.

Freenet

Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish “freesites” (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in “darknet” mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect. For Linux and Unix.

Osiris – serverless portal system

Osiris portals are serverless, so they spread through the P2P network members. This allows the portals to be independent of central servers, free and indestructibles since they are supported by every portal member. Moreover, all the sent contents are anonymous, enabling a strong privacy protection and ensuring that no one can overwhelm this experiment of free thought and knowledge distribution. Osiris can also build monarchic portals for traditional moderation.

The Social VPN Project

This is a free and open-source P2P Social Virtual Private Network (VPN) that seamlessly networks your computer with the computers of your friends so that:

Your computer can communicate directly to computers of your friends, and all communication is encrypted and authenticated. In other words, you are in full control of who you connect to and all your communications are private.
This private network is configured with no hassle. The social VPN does all the configuration automatically for you. All you and your friends need to do is run this software and log in to your XMPP backend (such as Google chat, or Jabber.org).
You and your friends can communicate, share and collaborate in countless ways, with existing applications, like iTunes, Windows shared folders, and remote desktop. You can share files and folders, stream music and video, play multi-user games, access remote desktops, and run a Web server private to your friends.
If you own multiple computers at different places, you can also use the Social VPN to seamlessly access your files, desktop, etc remotely – creating your own personal VPN.

Syndie

Syndie lets your community seamlessly use many different resources at once, such as individual websites, mailing lists, Freenet keys, and file sharing networks, so there is no one place predators can attack. By distributing your community across many different servers and networks, they lose their single point where they can monitor your activities. Anyone in your community can exploit whatever resources they find to share data without needing anyone’s permission. Syndie’s data is automatically protected with strong cryptography, even when sharing information with the public, and as a result, simple passive monitoring - even across a global scale - will not expose your data.
