@Harpocrates While I keep my fingers crossed for you (and will watch closely), I have some doubts. Without fully open hardware, and full chain of trust, I think it's hard to build "unblockable", anonymous and private network; aside from all possible "negative" implications, misuse of such net. 2/2

I’ve been analyzing the current state of "secure" messaging, and my recent tests with Signal have highlighted some persistent vulnerabilities inherent to any stack relying on standard TCP/IP. -

I guess one could apply various techniques, "steganography"-like, to masquerade your traffic to resemble something else, at the cost of overhead. 1/2

I think there was (once?) an attempt to build truly distributed and anonymous network, but the protocol was rather niche, with somewhat unfortunate name choice "tox" (colliding with much more well-known Python tool). I guess lora-mesh approaches could be also considered, but due to the low bandwidth and even lower density - not really successful (for now).
All TCP/IP based communication can be simply filtered out, on many (even country) levels, even if fully encrypted.
