Introduction to VeilNet
VeilNet is a post-quantum, self-healing overlay network that creates a secure, ephemeral, and intelligent communication layer across devices, clouds, and distributed systems. Unlike traditional VPNs or mesh overlays, VeilNet forms on-demand multi-hop paths, authenticates every packet with user and device identity, and continuously optimises routes in real time — delivering a simple, zero-configuration experience with future-proof security for both individuals and AI-driven infrastructures.
Why VeilNet Exists
Limitations of Conventional VPNs
Conventional VPNs depend on centrally operated servers. This leads to:
- A permanent public attack surface
- Logging and data visibility at the provider
- Single-path routing bottlenecks
- No quantum resistance
- Weak differentiation between personal and enterprise needs
Limitations of Overlay VPNs
Overlay VPNs solve some problems but introduce new ones:
- Complex mesh topologies
- Static pub/priv key tunnels that cannot scale
- MTU penalties due to encapsulation
- Constant connection polling
- Central coordination servers
- No packet-level identity
A New Requirement for the AI Era
AI systems, autonomous agents, microservices, and distributed compute require:
- Self-healing networks
- Quantum-safe security
- Dynamic topology that adapts automatically
- Zero configuration at scale
- Identity-based access control that works across LANs, containers, and clouds
VeilNet is built specifically to solve these problems.
