This looks cool.

If every node is both a server and a client then will a lot of traffic use my node/server as an exit node?

I see there is a separate list of public servers. Presumably, these are people running EasyTier nodes/servers who are willing to allow strangers in?

If I start my own node and I wish to connect to the mesh is that part of the reason for pubic nodes?

> A simple, decentralized mesh VPN with WireGuard support. How does it square up against DPI censorship techniques that successfully block WireGuard?

This is a Chinese project (hosted inside China), so probably not very well.

Au contraire, it is usually developers of Chinese origin that build some of the widely used anti-censorship techniques & protocols.

Ironically, it was American companies that sold firewall tech to the CCP: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-internet-providers-and-g...

Aren't you making yourself vulnerable to unknowingly sending (potentially loads of) illicit traffic from your ip address into the world? I'm not sure if I'd be up for that, to be honest...

this is more like zerotier/tailscale - sorta a virtual LAN

I don't think the issue is about the developers being Chinese at all.

I think the problem comes mainly from the CCP having direct power to pressure the developers.

In any case, I have to say Chinese tech has surely evolved impressively.
