ANts P2P encrypts all traffic sent or received from others and proxies traffic between participants in the network to make it harder to determine the originating IP addresses. Some of its features include:
ANts P2P also allows users to offer web servers anonymously; these servers are only reachable from within the ANts P2P network. ANts P2P is however not an outproxy network which lets users reach services on the conventional internet; for this, an outproxy service such as Tor can be used separately.
The data transfers run over indirect connections: Senders and receivers of a file do not hold a direct connection with each other, but the connection cascades over several nodes, so that neither party can trivially determine the other's identity.
The traffic between nodes is encrypted with AES, which prevents sniffing both from...
