hyprspace
A lightweight VPN built on IPFS and libp2p that creates direct encrypted tunnels between nodes, even behind NATs/firewalls.
What is hyprspace?
Hyprspace is a lightweight VPN built on IPFS and libp2p that creates direct, encrypted tunnels between devices without requiring public IP addresses or manual port forwarding. It solves the problem of connecting nodes that are all behind NATs/firewalls, enabling truly distributed and resilient networks. Unlike traditional VPNs that rely on central relays, Hyprspace establishes peer-to-peer connections using distributed hash tables and NAT hole punching.
Developers, digital nomads, and privacy advocates who need to connect devices across changing networks without exposing public endpoints or configuring complex port forwarding. It's also suitable for hobbyists and professionals building decentralized applications or secure remote access solutions.
Developers choose Hyprspace because it eliminates the need for publicly accessible nodes or centralized relays, offering a fully distributed VPN that works seamlessly behind firewalls. Its automatic peer discovery and IP allocation simplify setup, while its use of libp2p ensures robust, direct connections ideal for dynamic environments.
