4.4.1 Multi-Hop Routing

Breaking surveillance by fragmenting the path of information.

Traditional VPNs create a single point of trust: the provider. If that node is compromised, all user traffic is exposed. VeilNet’s multi-hop routing eliminates this weakness by relaying traffic through multiple randomly selected nodes, with layered encryption at each hop.

  • Onion-Style Encryption: Every hop decrypts only its layer, never seeing the full data payload.

  • Randomized Pathing: Paths are dynamically selected per session, ensuring no predictable routing patterns.

  • AI Path Optimization: Machine learning analyzes network load, threat levels, and geographic distribution to optimize the balance between speed and privacy.

This structure means even if one relay is compromised, the adversary sees only incomplete fragments of the communication chain.
