DN42 Information
0x01 - Introduction to DN42
“Decentralized network 42 (a.k.a. dn42) is a decentralized peer-to-peer network built using VPNs and software/hardware BGP routers”, according to Wikipedia. In my point of view, it is a place that we can practice a variety of networking technologies with others in level 3 or even level 2, while not paying a lot for AS numbers and globally unique IP addresses. To learn more about DN42, you may want to read the official wiki.
0x02 - NICHOLASCW Network (AS4242421288)
NICHOLASCW Network is the multihomed DN42 network I am currently operating. I have an open peering policy and the available PoPs currently includes Seattle, Chicago, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. WireGuard over clearnet IPv4 is required for tunneling. All BGP sessions are multi-protocol BGP on IPv6 Link-Local address with Extended Next Hop DISABLED.
For peering, please contact me with:
- Email: me[at]nicho1as[dot]wang
and configure your endpoint as follows.
