TL;DR: KELVPN is a decentralized VPN on a blockchain secured with quantum-safe encryption. Anyone can launch a node and use the network for free similar to torrenting applied to your Internet channel. This feature will be launched in 2–3 weeks before that you can use our servers for free. All the code is on GitLab, so you can be sure no one decrypts your traffic!
Get a free, decentralized VPN on a blockchain, launch your node, be sure that no one in the world can decrypt your traffic! Get all the details at the end of the article, in the BETA TEST INSTRUCTIONS.

We're proud to present you KELVPN! We've launched a beta test of KELVPN, a bandwidth sharing solution. It is a decentralized VPN, built on top of the Cellframe blockchain platform. Our mission is to build a decentralized privacy network, which can serve as a personal spacesuit for everyone accessing the Internet.
KELVPN is the first service on Cellframe (our service-oriented blockchain).
KELVPN offers enhanced privacy and security as well as connection speed in comparison with traditional VPNs. Everything was built from scratch, we've used no 3rd party code. Our primary
technology features:
- VPN client and server based on its original code: it is not a fork of OpenVPN or another similar product;
- We do not use IPSec (IP tunneling) for connection, partly because of CVE-2019–14899. We use our own DAP protocol insteadDecentralized Application Protocol), and, according to current observations, it can provide access to blocked content even in China. If you are a Chinese user, we kindly promise you to share your own experience with our team;
- Private implementation of post-quantum cryptography signatures — Crystal Dilithium, Tesla and BLISS, public key — MSRLN;
- Traffic is anonymous; moreover, the determination of the source of traffic or related information about it is significantly hindered;
- For cypherpunk enthusiasts: we will add payments based on the ZK-SNARK post-quantum zero-disclosure protocol. t will allow you to pay for the services and receive rewards anonymously;
- We implemented an original checking system to conduct settlements between users and service providers;
- For users who just need a secure “one-click” VPN connection, there is an option to pay using bank cards and popular cryptocurrencies — BTC / ETH;
- There is an additional feature, which is called a Smart traffic routing algorithm. It allows you to make requests to the web (and transfer data) using the most efficient way possible (still in development);
As for today, we’re focused on polishing the client and the work of the protocols, that’s why you can use our own nodes/servers. However, you can use this instruction to launch your own node and share your bandwidth:

BETA TEST INSTRUCTIONS:
1) At first, you need to register on the website — kelvpn.com and click the confirmation link in your e-mail.

https://medium.com/@cellframe/kelvpn-where-to-find-log-files-linux-win-macos-c40f146b0fc4We're open to any ideas, feel free to share yours here or in Telegram. We're interested in users, beta-testers, smart people with bright ideas. We'd like to create an unconditional solution that can protect your Internet usage. We really need support from the community!
Also, we're looking for a data center that can help us run tests with good hardware. We need dedicated servers connected directly by 5-10 Gbit cable in the same rack, 2-4 core. So, for clarification purposes, each of the servers should have 2 network cards (one for the Internet, another to connect with each other). We will take measurements in terms of transaction speed (1) and on the external channel (2), the max speed of the connection (3) and the signal delay (4).
