90 join our webchat at L<http://webchat.kwaaknet.org/?c=AnoNet> to have a
91 real human help you get up and running in a hurry. It's a lot easier
92 (and not half as boring) to learn the technical details interactively,
93 once you're online.

301 If AnoNet sounds good but not perfect, don't despair: there are a number
302 of other projects that may interest you either instead of - or possibly
303 in addition to - AnoNet.

307 =item dn42 - L<http://www.dn42.net/>
308
309 dn42 is another highly decentralized darknet, and it's also quite
310 friendly. The main differences are that it doesn't claim anonymity as
311 a goal, and that it's significantly larger than AnoNet. A number of
312 AnoNet members are also active in dn42.
313
314 =item VAnet - L<http://www.vanet.org/>
315
316 VAnet is a strange animal. It's a highly I<centralized> darknet, making
317 the curious claim that centralization actually aids in privacy protection.
318 It's still quite small, but it should scale extremely well from a
319 technical perspective, due to its centralization. VAnet's official IRC
320 is part of the AnoNet IRC monster for now, so the easiest way to find out
321 more about VAnet is actually just to join AnoNet IRC and ask about VAnet.
322
323 =item UCIS IX - L<http://ix.ucis.nl/>
324
325 The UCIS Internet eXchange is an attempt to link a bunch of darknets
326 together. If you connect using UFO's CP, you're already on the UCIS IX.
