Part of a comment I left the other day:

https://veilid.com/

They've described it as "TOR mixed with IPFS without the crypto." Uses a DHT similar to torrents with built in secure routing reminiscent of TOR. Importantly, it's not a VPN, but designed to be built into the applications themselves. All apps powered by Veilid also contribute to the network and can be assigned any role in "the onion." The most important pitch is that by being built into apps it can bring very strong privacy and security to the layperson, though app developers still need to address things like ensuring users retain access to data without email recovery etc.

Aren't a significant number of exit nodes government controlled though?
