Lokinet is shutting down. The organization behind it abandoned Lokinet in favor of Session after being V&'d by Australian authorities. Given the nature of the network, it's possible that the VPN industry may have also had a part to play.Lokinet is the only anonymity network that allows UDP through exit nodes, meaning that we are losing something big by it shutting down. Without Lokinet we have to trust VPN's claims of totally no logs broThe code is open source, someone should revive it.
>>108944251isn't it decentralized?can't it just keep running without them or anybody else stepping up?if not, why did anybody use it to begin with?
>>108944251Out of curiosity, what's your use case for UDP exit nodes?
>>108944268Millennials don't care anymore and zoomies are too fucking stupid to the point they don't know how to torrent. Don't expect unique protocols to be revived
>>108944251>The organization behind it abandoned Lokinet in favor of SessionMakes sense since session is their only product people care about>after being V&'d by Australian authorities.They didn't even tighten the screws yet. Also Switzerland isn't a safe haven either. They shouldn't have gone with the 'We'll just be easily accessible but fly under the radar' approach
>>108944356>isn't a safe haven eitherWhat at this point even is?
>>108944420The point is that you shouldn't rely on any single govt to keep you safe. Most of the devs doxxed themselves and constantly showed their faces on the youtube channel
>>108944251>pagan namenothing of value lost desu
>>108944251I never understood why they decided to stay in fucking Australia of all places. Before Britain decided to take back the crown recently they've been THE undisputed king of Orwellian bullshit for well over a decade.
>>108944536The CEO lived in Berlin if that helps
>>108944555
>>108944536>>108944555Could be worse, look at Tor.
>>108944346Afaik it's for torrenting. Tor does not support it, for example.But I have no idea who is supposed to care about it.
>>108944850UDP isn't used just for torrenting, but for all high performance networking, notably things like games.
I know the original Lokinet dev used to post on /g/. I wonder why he left the project.
