Lokinet: Anonymous Networking Stack

Lokinet obscures user identity and activity using encryption and onion routing, making it hard for authorities to analyze traffic and conduct network surveillance.

What is Lokinet?

Lokinet is an open source anonymous networking stack for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS. It obscures the user's identity and activity by encrypting traffic and routing it through a decentralized VPN network based on onion routing technology.

Some key features of Lokinet include:

  • Hides a user's IP address and physical location
  • Encrypts traffic end-to-end using elliptic curve cryptography
  • Routes traffic through a network of node servers run by volunteers
  • Resists surveillance, traffic analysis, and network monitoring
  • Provides access to normal internet sites and services
  • Based on open standards and peer-reviewed cryptography

By downloading Lokinet and connecting to the network, users can browse the internet, chat, and engage in peer-to-peer activities with a high degree of anonymity. The decentralized nature of the network means there is no central point of failure or control. Overall, Lokinet aims to make traffic analysis, geolocation, and network surveillance extremely difficult for any adversary.
