Overview
DN42 is a large dynamic virtual private network (VPN) that employs various internet technologies (such as BGP, whois database, DNS, etc.).Participants connect to each other via network tunnels (GRE, OpenVPN, WireGuard, Tinc, IPsec) and exchange routes with the help of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
DN42 can be used to learn about networking and to connect private networks, such as hacker spaces or community networks.But most importantly, experimenting with routing in DN42 is a lot of fun!
