So I really want to create a network for fun and learning. I have to find a few like-minded individuals to see if they would like to participate. I was originally going to create a secure network designed to facilitate constitutionally protected activities but now is not the time to take risks like this. I don’t want to risk my future career as a therapist. So, I’m just going to do this for fun and learning.
I just reconnected with two friends from my time in Arizona. Both are also fellow IT enthusiasts and I think they might be interested in doing this. I know Dan probably will more than Prince because Dan likes stuff like Linux and BSD. Let’s see what I can drum up.
I’m basing my network design off of DN42 but with some major changes. For one, I’m going to use the following network blocks: 5.0.0.0/8, 22.0.0.0/8, and 25.0.0.0/8. I’m going to leave the peering methods open to whatever people want to use. The only stipulation is that VPN connections must use encryption. If the connection is a direct point-to-point, it can be in the clear.
Since this will be an open darknet, I’m going to have to police it to some degree. Illegal activities like sex trafficking, child pornography, drug trafficking, etc will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. It’s going to also have its own root DNS and anyone can run their own TLD on it. It’s a place for learning and experimentation. No guarantees of uptime. People can be free to run their own email servers, web servers, FTP, etc. It will be truly democratic.
