P2P VPN List

List of Open-Source or Free P2P VPNs

P2P VPNs allow you to connect two or more hosts together and do some stuff like play games or test out services just like you were on one real physical local network (LAN). Even when you are on different continents.

Monsterovich, that looks great, I just can't figure how to compile/install it in debian. I spent hours making sure dependencies are installed and trying the usual compile cli's. How do I install it? You gave good instructions for FreeBSD, but none I can see for linux.

Compiling from the source code could be very tricky. My suggestion is to just download the latest release, install OpenJDK 8+ and follow the instructions in the README.

Thanks. It appears I had extracted the wrong archive meant to be compiled. I am currently going through the correct one with the correct readme and jar files.

URnetwork https://ur.io https://docs.ur.io https://feedback.ur.io https://github.com/urnetwork

What is this? Is it proprietary?

URnetwork is an app I found on f-droid a few months ago, and that I've been using since. I'm just a random user who thought URnetwork should be part of this list, without being related to URnetwork creators.

In order to be able to answer your question, I got in touch with their team (support (at) ur.io) and their founder (Brien Colwell, brien (at) ur.io). Here's our conversation:

Sorry I don’t know this list. The project is open source. It has one company running it now and we’re going through a split off of the protocol.

Hi, Brien. So, like discussed earlier today, I added URnetwork to that GitHub gist of P2P VPNs, but now the owner seems dubious, please see his comment: https://gist.github.com/sxiii/abf2cce3ace9c4a485f5c9b1b5a7dbb2#gistcomment-6190705

Hi, just wanted to ask why you guys are not on this list of P2P VPN solutions? https://gist.github.com/sxiii/abf2cce3ace9c4a485f5c9b1b5a7dbb2

Kiril ISAKOV

I hope this answers your question.
