Skypier VPN | Decentralized built on top of libp2p
A more equitable and scalable decentralized network platform that empowers people the freedom to express and explore anonymously without worry of compromising their privacy or quality of access.
## Introduction
Skypier VPN is a decentralized VPN solution leveraging the power of `libp2p` to provide secure and private internet access. This project is currently under development and should not be used in production environments for security reasons.
## 🚀 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.
## ⚠️ Disclaimer
