Cool stuff. How close to do you get to the actual BGP protocol, as a user? Will I learn more about BGP, or will this configure it for me?

How does this compare to ZeroTier? https://www.zerotier.com/

edit: From ChaosVPN: "If you prefer BGP, you can also connect via https://dn42.net/, we are interconnected." https://wiki.hamburg.ccc.de/ChaosVPN

Very interesting. Does anyone have any cool links on this network to share?



From what I understand, dn42 is "you can use different protocols, learn stuff, and play around while making this work", and zerotier is closer to "this is a product, install and it works".


We connect to each other via VPNs (usually wireguard) and then run BGP through those interfaces.


You have to find a peer and make BGP (or something similar) work all by yourself!
