I'm not the one who can evaluate whether this lives up to what it says it does, but if it does, it seems like exactly the kind of thing the free internet could use right about now.
As with most self-hosted services, the main bummer interfering with the internet-as-intended is that ipv4 makes self-hosting super duper cumbersome - you either need a tunnel, a static IP with port forwarding at your router, run it in the cloud, or use an overlay like Tor that routes without assuming a fixed IP address listening for connections.
sadly, many such things have existed. this is cool in that it's a single file and it sounds like it does some other novel stuff. and tunnels are becoming easier to configure.
but what we really need is an overlay like Tor that works really really really well and is not as vulnerable to DoS. and I mostly mean Tor in the sense that it's an overlay. if we avoided source routing1 in this alternative overlay, it'd probably scale a lot better.

source routing is like an internet request driving its own car/route to the destination vs hopping on a train ↩
