In plain words

Lahana is a script that enables users of Amazon's EC2 Free Tier to set up their own VPN gateway to the Tor network. It automates the configuration process for running Tor on a free EC2 instance, allowing users to route their traffic through Tor via a personal VPN connection. The tool is designed for those seeking to leverage AWS's free tier resources for anonymous internet access.

  • Weron – A Peer-to-Peer VPN Based on WebRTC Written in Go2022 · github.com · ▲204

    Hey HN! I just released weron, a P2P VPN that uses WebRTC for transport which I've been working on for the last couple of months. It can create both layer 2/Ethernet and layer 3/IP overlay networks, and the underlying transport layer can be easily embedded to write your own P2P apps with Go. Compared to for example Tailscale, WireGuard and ZeroTier, its much harder to block on a network level and also significantly easier to set up, while not sacrifing much performance. I'd love to get your feedback :)

    Malai – securely share local TCP services (database/SSH) with others2025 · malai.sh · ▲117

    malai is a peer to peer network, and is a dead simple to share your local development HTTP server, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services. In malai 0.2.5, we have added TCP support, which means you can expose any TCP service to others using malai, without opening the TCP service related port to Internet. With malai installed on both ends, any TCP service can be securely tunneled over it. It can be used to secure your SSH service, or securely share your database server.
