Community Plane

Community Plane

The Community Plane — also known as the VeilNet Public Plane — is a shared, post-quantum secure overlay network accessible to all users.
It is maintained by the VeilNet team and serves as the backbone that allows every user to freely access VeilNet by simply self-hosting a Conflux node.

By combining decentralization, post-quantum cryptography, and dynamic multi-hop routing, the Community Plane forms a new generation of privacy network — similar in spirit to TOR, but built for the modern AI, cloud-native, and post-quantum era.

Unlike TOR, the VeilNet Community Plane is:

Better Privacy

VeilNet’s global NATS super-cluster control channel enables Conflux nodes to self-organize, authenticate, and form multi-hop paths without:

• a central directory
• a list of public relay nodes
• a traceable, static topology

Because no public registry exists, participants remain invisible by design.
IP-based correlation, entry/exit node tracking, and time-correlation attacks do not apply to VeilNet’s ephemeral, dynamically bonded topology.

Every tunnel is:

• ephemeral
• anonymous
• unlisted
• recreated frequently
• indistinguishable from normal WebRTC traffic

This results in true unobservability.

Better Security

VeilNet uses NIST-approved Post-Quantum Cryptography (Kyber KEM + Dilithium DSA) and Packet-Level Authentication (PLA) to cryptographically validate every packet — not just the session.

This ensures:

• No plaintext metadata
• No long-term keys exposed (unlike WireGuard’s static pubkeys)
• No VPN signatures
• No possibility of replay or brute-force attacks
• No way to correlate packets to a specific user or device

All traffic is protected with quantum-safe identity, encryption, and routing.

Better Performance

TOR suffers from layered encryption and strictly sequential hops.
VeilNet eliminates these bottlenecks through:

• native multi-path concurrent transmission
• per-destination independent secure streams
• reinforcement-learning-powered route selection
• post-quantum keys without onion-layer overhead
• WebRTC data channel aggregation for high availability and bandwidth

As a result, VeilNet Community Plane offers:

• significantly lower latency
• higher throughput
• smoother real-time traffic (gaming/voice/video)
• better reliability across unstable networks

Performance is not just improved — it is re-architected.

Not Just Browser Traffic

TOR provides mostly browser-layer anonymity (TCP, HTTP).
VeilNet offers full Layer-3 overlay networking:

• all IP traffic
• all protocols
• all ports
• full LAN/VXLAN/container/VPC reachability
• no sub-routers required

This makes VeilNet useful for:

• multi-cloud and multi-region clusters
• distributed AI systems
• container networks
• on-prem + cloud hybrid meshes
• secure developer access
• home lab cross-site connectivity
• privacy focused personal networking

VeilNet connects entire infrastructures, not just browsers.

Why the Community Plane Exists

The Community Plane ensures:

• Everyone can use VeilNet for free
• Self-hosters earn credits automatically
• The network grows stronger with more nodes
• Post-quantum security becomes accessible to all

By combining decentralization with community participation, the Community Plane is the foundation of a global, untraceable, quantum-safe connectivity layer — available to every user, developer, and organisation on the planet.
