About:
cjdns is an advanced mesh networking protocol that implements a distributed, encrypted network layer. It uses a flat address space with public-key cryptography to assign addresses, enabling secure peer-to-peer connectivity without central authorities. The system provides automatic network configuration and resilient routing for decentralized communication infrastructures.
Key Features:
  • Cryptographic addressing with public-key infrastructure
  • Automatic mesh networking and self-healing routing
  • End-to-end encryption for all communications
  • Zero-configuration peer discovery and connectivity
Use Cases:
  • Building community mesh networks for local internet infrastructure
  • Creating secure, decentralized communication channels
  • Establishing resilient peer-to-peer networks for censorship resistance
Alternatives:
  • Yggdrasil – Similar encrypted mesh networking, but uses a different addressing scheme and routing algorithm
  • WireGuard – Point-to-point VPN tool, not designed for mesh networking or decentralized address allocation
