What it does

dn42 is a large, dynamic VPN that employs Internet technologies ( BGP , whois database, DNS , etc.). Participants connect to each other using network tunnels ( GRE , OpenVPN , WireGuard , Tinc , IPsec ) and exchange routes using the Border Gateway Protocol. Network addresses are assigned in the 172.20.0.0/14 range with private AS numbers (see registry ), as well as IPv6 addresses from the ULA range ( fd00::/8 ) - see FAQ .
