Yggdrasil Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• ZeroTier – home VPN without a public IP address

  I tried Nebula, but ended up with Yggdrasil instead. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ Unlike Nebula, it gives you an IPv6 address (actually, millions of them per node, if needed). They now also have a userspace only SOCKS 5 proxy server that can connect your app to the whole network without forcing user to install drivers or to mess with their network configuration. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• The New Internet

  Yggdrasil is p2p ipv6 e2ee. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ Last I checked, it hasn't solved DNS yet (there are unofficial projects trying to do that). I tested a small private network with a few devices and it worked very well. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• The New Internet

  Isn't yggdrasil[1] supposed to be the New Internet? If not, why Tailscale specifically, and not Netbird, Nebula, Netmaker or some other competitor? The article is indeed very well written, but gives the wrong vibes, like something's coming: acquisition, pivot, split, shutting down, etc. Also, "we're re just getting started", the famous last words. Just to balance my healthy mistrust, I'd like to add that I'm a... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Meshtastic: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network

  Yggdrasil can use WiFi on Android, I haven't tried it yet - https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. Yggdrasil gives you the ability to use TCP/IP applications over its mesh network but doesn't offer any end-user functionality itself. Manyverse can use WiFi for decentralised social networking - https://www.manyver.se/. They're currently in the middle of a rewrite of the backend and a protocol switch away from Secure... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Meshtastic: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network

  There are more state-of-the-art routing protocols working to solve this problem for mesh networks. A couple examples of projects I have been involved in: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://github.com/matrix-org/pinecone. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Mycelium

  This new technology provides an advanced IPv6 overlay network designed to create a decentralized and efficient communication platform within the ThreeFold Grid. It offers a novel approach to networking inspired by the resilience and efficiency of nature's mycelium networks. Relevant: a detailed post https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-mycelium/4082 why we needed to build it instead of continuing to yggdrasil... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas

  Does it plan to use yggsdrasil[0] on ipv6 side of things, or is that not even relevant? 0: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• 'Terminating Internet Access over Piracy Claims Is Drastic and Overbroad'

  What you're describing is a lot like Yggdrasil, which I love and use for networking my devices: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ Though I haven't really bothered joining a larger network yet. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Would we still create Nebula today?

  You can join the public network or restrict access to known keys for a private network. [0] https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ann: Yggdrasil 1.0

  For me it's the meshnet thing https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level

  Ha. I run WireGuard and a Tailscale network also. I've read that some people have used port 853 to mimic encrypted DNS or other ports less than 1024 to circumvent some WireGuard limits. I've yet to run into that. Might want to check out https://yggdrasil-network.github.io for fun. I used to use it to connect to various networks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I've skimmed 66520 newsgroups trying to find some life on the Usenet (2020)

  Anything that depends on an ISP is not truly distributed or decentralized. You'd need a way to route ad-hoc networks deterministically. You'd have to replace BGP with something like DHT. Yggdrasil is one example of this although it is an 'overlay' and not a direct protocol replacement. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Tinc, a GPLv2 mesh routing VPN

  Personally, I've been building my mesh network up over Yggdrasil[1]. A router can even hand out Ygg IP's, resolve traffic for-, and firewall off- naive IOT devices (neccessary if you route through the public mesh, which isn't the only way to set things up). 1: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is it time to resurrect a Usenet clone?

  > This would be IPV6 based (lots of available addresses) and end to end encrypted. FYI Yggdrasil https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ already gives you a unique, stable IPv6 with mesh layer encryption for your packets. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• How do y'all access your homelab services from outside your home network?

  All my hosted servers are accessible over SSH via Yggdrasil and wireguard as a backup plan. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Embed a Tailscale Funnel in your Go app

  Yeah it's similar to yggdrasil and the dream of ipv6 everywhere--if everything has a static IP then there's no drama or trouble routing to anything else in the entire internet. Definitely worth checking out IMHO: https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Self hosting in 2023 and why you should do that

  For me 2023 is exactly like 2003 from this point of view: a dynamic DNS account with inadyn/ddclient to refresh it when the IP changes, and it's almost like having a static IP. Even better if you have e.g. a Linode or any server with a public IP that can run Wireguard or OpenVPN. Then you can run your own VPN server, configure your DNS, and connect to anything from anywhere. Yggdrasil... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• SirTunnel, a Personal Ngrok Alternative

  This seems like a good alternative to Ngrok if you need to be able to share a temporary server with someone else. What I've been doing for my own work, in the case that I need to access a server from one device on another, is to use Yggdrasil. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ Yggdrasil is essentially a p2p VPN where peers have IPv6 addresses that are declared by their public/private keys. I set up a dedicated... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Is this project alive?

  Not that I know. Seems like Yggdrasil is carrying the torch. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to permit Conditional Access from a Cruise Ship? Where/how to find out the country or IP Range the cruise line's provider will appear as?

  I'd do something like a Yggdrasil overlay network and then make each device endpoint an IPv6 address that you can manage individually. Source: over 2 years ago
