    Yggsrqsil network I2P Freenet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N

    have great potential but not user friendly at all at current stage. Or is there any user friendly software that uses this I didn’t find?

    IPFS SSB /

    Any guide on how to start using IPFS?

    Manyver.se /

    No longer in active development

    PZP

    Can’t find anything on internet

    Briar Project

    great stuff already in the list

    Tailscale

    added to the list

    Syncthing Localsend

    I don’t think they are p2p since they can only work in LAN

      SSB (Secure ScuttleButt) is the protocol behind the app Manyver.se

      There are some issues with it though, so the lead dev of Manyver.se created PZP as a sort of revival of the project. Unfortunately, funding ran out and other commitments took priority, so he had to step away from the project right after its first release. It’s functional, but barbones and in desperate need of developers.

      Yeah, Freenet is not user friendly at all. Ive tried a few times, but was unable to get it running at all. I2P I had similar issues with, though I did get to try it out. The main thing is that it needs a browser dedicated to it to work properly and is finicky.

      Yggdrasil I actually found to be rather polished. It just makes a new network adapter like Tailscale so it’s compatible with pretty much everything. Main issue i had was DNS. That, and a lack of content or new features. Its the same now as it was 5 years ago, even with regular updates. There’s just very few websites on yggsrasil.

      IPFS is complicated. Its harder to setup, but comes bundled in lots of other apps. My main issue both it is a general lack of polish and quality of life features. It has everything else though. Its a functional p2p internet that works both alongside and instead of the regular internet. Its just really clunky amd unpleasant to use, is slow, and doesn’t have much content on it. Its also riddled with scams and crypto crap taking advantage of it and ruining everything.

      Syncthing doesn’t only work on LAN, it can work through any network interface including Tailscale and yggdrasil, and has public relay nodes in case you don’t. I’m pretty sure you can also host your own relay nodes if you want to.

        didn’t know this, thank you!
