Naxalnet is an experiment to create an intranet and use it for
|
|
|
|
|
communicating during an internet shutdown. It tries to use
|
|
|
|
|
existing software and tech as much as possible. Currently
|
|
|
|
|
you can only communicate with other peers running the same software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name naxal comes from Naxalbari, a village in Darjeeling,
|
|
|
|
|
West Bengal.
