4.4.2 Global POP Expansion

Scaling anonymity through distributed global coverage.

To maximize resilience and performance, VeilNet operates Points of Presence (POPs) across strategic geographic hubs. These POPs function as distributed relay nodes, ensuring:

  • Redundancy: No single region’s downtime compromises the network.

  • Censorship Resistance: Distributed POPs make it extremely difficult for governments or ISPs to block the network.

  • Decentralization: Over time, POPs will expand beyond VeilNet-operated relays into community-run nodes, incentivized by contribution rewards.

Global expansion not only improves speed (by keeping relays closer to users) but also strengthens the privacy mesh against targeted surveillance campaigns.
