Why Yedino (Galaxy42)

This is in development, not ready (besides basic meshnet/vpn over udp) as of 2017-09 see https://github.com/yedino/galaxy42/tree/dev for progress info.

Use cases:

• connect to other nodes using local WiFi, and access in-network services over Yedino even if you don't have "Internet"
• find a node offering "Gateway to internet", and access the Internet from your computer that only has connections to 1 or few Yedino nodes using
• you can "pay" (give tokens) to the peers or the Gateway, as much as you use them
• you can also earn tokens

Important points:

• you own your own IPv6 (cryptography - privkey)
• support many wire (transports) - e.g. node2node peering over UDP, TCP, but also over http, maybe Ham radio, pure Ethernet, and other backup/emergency protocols
• also you can transport over Cjdns network (or vice-versa)
• easy GUI integrated
• payment: control how you share your resources - e.g. earn tokens, or pay, to each-other, for faster connection
• (still you can give resources for free if you want, it's choice of each user)
• code in C++ (additional Linux kernel module would be in C)
• multi-threaded

Comparing to Cjdns: more user friendly and integrated optional GUI, multi-threaded, payment/tokens possible (less scalable for now, but more in future).

Comparing to OpenVPN: it's a meshnet, not just VPN. And payment/tokens, and GUI.

If you're a regular user, instead follow development of project's official versions: https://github.com/yedino/galaxy42/ (please note project is in pre-alpha as of 2017-10)
