Skypier VPN is a decentralized VPN solution leveraging the power of libp2p to provide secure and private internet access. This project is currently in early-beta phase.

Features

• Decentralized Network: No central points of failure, no central server.
• Libp2p Integration: Uses the same network library as Ethereum and various well known Blockchain projects.
• Enhanced Security: Strong encryption and secure communication channels
• Privacy: Ensures user anonymity by routing traffic through nodes hosted by the community all around the world.
• Token Gated Service: We use NFTs for users subscription validity and proof of payment.
