Question : by decentralized, do you mean peer-to-peer or normal 'decentralization'

[DaVikingMan]

By normal decentralization I mean that the servers are run by volunteers and not everyone who is running the client. Or is wireleap like a peer-to-peer vpn where every person running is part or an exit node for the users.

Thanks for the work! I think that this is an amazing project!

I'm not directly involved in wireleap, but my understanding is that it is "decentralised" in the context of there being no central server(s) which the traffic goes through (as there is in a normal VPN setup).

It's sort of peer-to-peer in the sense that anyone can run a node. But not really in the true sense of "peer-to-peer" as you do not act as a node, unless you are explicitly running as a node. If you are only using a client, then AFAIK you are not a node (intermediate or exit).

I might have missed some subtlety though...
