GNUnet is a new network protocol stack for building secure, distributed,
and privacy-preserving applications. With strong roots in academic
research, our goal is to replace the
old insecure Internet
protocol stack.

GNUnet is typically run as an
overlay network
on top of the the existing Internet infrastructure forming the
basis of a hybrid
peer-to-peer mesh and relay backbone
for applications to run on. It could just as well be run
independently of the Internet, over
dedicated radio and cable.

GNUnet is made for an open society: It's a self-organizing
network and it is
free software
as in freedom. GNUnet puts you in control of your data. You
determine which data to share with whom, and you're not
pressured to accept compromises.
