Alternative Highways (Networks)

Alternative networks are decentralised, private systems designed to provide anonymity and resist censorship. Unlike traditional internet services, these networks operate through peer-to-peer or distributed infrastructures, minimizing reliance on centralized servers and offering stronger privacy protections. They are particularly valuable for secure communication, file sharing, and publishing in restrictive environments. Below are some examples of these networks:

GNUnet – A free software framework for decentralised, privacy-preserving networking.

Tor (The Onion Router) – Routes traffic through multiple layers of encryption and relays for anonymity.

I2P (Invisible Internet Project) – A decentralized network for anonymous communication and data sharing.

Freenet – A peer-to-peer network designed for anonymous publishing and file sharing.

Qortal – A blockchain-based decentralised platform offering secure, censorship-resistant communication and hosting.
