2025-06-12 –, 9 - Workshop
The GnosisVPN PoC allows technically savvy users to use Gnosis ecosystem websites and dapps anonymously over a VPN connection backed by the HOPR mixnet. This workshop will guide participants through the process of setting up a HOPR node, connecting to the GnosisVPN PoC, and using it. After completing the workshop, participants will be able to use GnosisVPN for their ongoing interactions in the Gnosis ecosystem, and their nodes will continue to contribute to decentralized anonymous communication infrastructure.
GnosisVPN will receive many more product improvements as outlined in GIP-122. The goal is to turn GnosisVPN into a general purpose VPN service to end users which leverages mixnet and web3 technologies to provide unique advantages over traditional VPNs.
Requirements:
- Participants must bring a laptop with Linux or macOS to run the GnosisVPN client.
- Participants must have a basic understanding of how to use the command line and SSH.
- Participants must have access to a Dappnode or VPS which can run a HOPR node.
