Decentralized Architecture and Privacy

The decentralized nature of mesh VPN networks contributes to their security and privacy. Some notable aspects include:

  1. No Single Points of Failure: The absence of a central concentrator or gateway in mesh VPN networks eliminates the risk of a single point of failure, ensuring that the network remains operational even if individual nodes are compromised or experience issues.

  2. Anonymity: Since data travels along multiple paths within the mesh network, it becomes more difficult for an attacker to trace the origin or destination of the data, enhancing privacy for users.

  3. Traffic Obfuscation: Mesh VPN networks can employ techniques like packet padding and timing obfuscation to make it harder for eavesdroppers to analyze traffic patterns and identify specific users or data streams.
