It’s an overlay network, it can fit in place anywhere. Use ipv4/6/tor/i2p/paper/bluetooth/pipe/ham/whatever-else-the-fuck-is-a-medium-of-communication. Idk how well two tin cans & a string would work, but if you can tap out morse code faster than 3 bytes per second, you can maintain a vpn connection lol

I want this to be a native network. If it works well as native it shouldn't be hard to ALSO make it an overlay. But it should be native first, otherwise we're still stuck with IP.
Reticulum IS native and does some really cool things, but it requires the whole stack above it to be rewritten to use it. I want to try and avoid that.
