Rayfish: The Trustless P2P Mesh VPN
"Your own private network. No servers, no setup."
Rayfish is a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh VPN designed to eliminate the need for a central authority. By removing the middleman, it ensures there is a server to trust no server to trust.
Network Architecture
Unlike traditional VPNs, Rayfish utilizes a mesh topology where nodes connect directly to one another.
