GNUnet's anonymity protocol (gap) is designed to make it difficult to link users to their file-sharing activities. Users can also individually trade-off between performance and anonymity. Despite providing anonymity, GNUnet's excess-based economy rewards contributing users with better performance. The VPN service allows offering of hidden services within GNUnet (using a .gnunet TLD) and can be used to tunnel IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the P2P network. The VPN can also be used for IP protocol translation (6-to-4, 4-to-6) and it is possible to tunnel IP traffic over GNUnet(Continue reading)
