Cjdns is an encrypted IPv6 networking implementation that uses public-key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing. It provides near-zero-configuration mesh networking designed to avoid security and scalability issues of conventional networks.
Use cases
- build a decentralized mesh network
- create an encrypted overlay network over the internet
- set up a VPN alternative with cryptographic addressing
- join the Hyperboria mesh community
- run a cjdns NAT gateway for a LAN
- peer nodes without manual IP configuration
When to choose
- you want encrypted, self-configuring IPv6 networking between peers
- you're building or joining a community mesh network
- you need a VPN-like tunnel with cryptographically derived addresses
When to avoid
- you need mainstream VPN protocols with broad client support
- you require IPv4 connectivity or compatibility with standard internet routing
- you want a turnkey solution with a GUI and minimal setup
