Reticulum (noticing similarities to old UUCP here) doesn't need the Internet, TCP/IP, or even Ethernet to work - networks can be built over serial lines. Therefore a possible link could be a modem link over an international phone call. I am curious if/how and sure that various countries monitor/scrape PSTN for data though. Other weird ideas off the top of my head: satellite phone, 2 shortwave channels with appropriate hardware (one for Tx other for Rx - I don't really know anything about shortwave).
- EnigmaFlare 2y agoOh. I didn't know that. The page is pretty vague about what physical channels it uses so I just assumed it was on top of the internet. None of that stuff would have enough bandwidth for regular internet use, and clandestinely broadcasting on shortwave is going to cause you far more trouble with the authorities no matter what data you send!
