Need peer-to-peer IoT mesh networks with spillover across the borders.

  In case the government wants to shut down communication that's a very bad idea. In a global network, it's relatively easy to hide traffic in other traffic. Encapsulation and encryption work just fine. In a physical world, if you want a mesh (RF I'm guessing) network, it's trivial to figure out who's forwarding. You can do that with a cheap scanner and go straight to the doors of people running nodes. If you're trying to stay stealthy and secure from gov/mil, radio mesh is a terrible idea.

    Is there a secure solution for that problem in a physical world then?

      Nope. If you're transmitting, you're incredibly easy to find. There's nothing that can change that.

      If everyone is transmitting, including their fridge, coffee machine and alarm clock - that would change the game.
