GNUnet uses the physical Internet structure as a basis for a 100% peer-to-peer framework all your web services can run on [link to GNUnet layer grafic]: 
<br><br>
GNUnet is a new network stack for building secure, decentralized and
privacy-preserving distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the
old insecure Internet protocol stack.
<br><br>
GNUnet is made by us for us and for you: self-governed, self-hosted, fast (?), secure, transparent, free.
<!--
  Why did this part get removed?

Starting from an application
for secure publication of files, GNUnet has grown to include all
kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the
creation of a GNU Internet.

        It seems like every other distributed or P2P project develops its own library stack, covering transports, stream muxing, discovery and others. This divides effort and multiplies bug count.
        <br><br>
        GNUnet is a metadata-preserving foundation for your application, covering areas from addressing to reliable bidirectional Axolotl-encrypted channels, with advanced routing.  Our work is based on continuous research spanning almost two decades.

        {% trans %}
        Even though transport encryption is increasingly being deployed in the Internet, it can only do so much: sender and receiver, times, frequency and the volume of communication are all revealed, which enables reverse engineering pages visited and website fingerprinting, as demonstrated with Tor.
        <br><br>
        GNUnet addresses these concerns with Perfect Forward Secrecy via ephemeral public key addressing, fixed packet size to hinder traffic analysis, layered encryption, Sybil-resistant routing, and others.
