Hello, for some time I've been developing this project now that I am happy that it finally can see the light. I love Tor, but I believe the biggest thing with Tor is that the nodes are strangers which in itself requires some sort of level in just that, complete strangers.

For this reason, I decided to build this private network inspired by the Onion router. Unlike other public networks, GiralNet is not for anonymous connections to strangers. It is built for small teams or groups who want privacy but also need a level of trust. It assumes that the people running the nodes in the network are known and verifiable. This provides a way for a group to create their own private and secure network, where the infrastructure is controlled and the people behind the nodes are accountable. The goal is to provide privacy without relying on a large, anonymous public network.

In terms of technical details, it is a SOCKS5 proxy that routes internet traffic through a series of other computers. It does this by wrapping your data in multiple layers of encryption, just like the onion router does it. Each computer in the path unwraps one layer to find the next destination, but never knows the full path. This makes it difficult for any single party to see both where the traffic came from and where it is going.

I will gladly answer any questions you might have, thank you.
