Show HN: Well-net – a friends-only IPv6 network with no central server

[shynome]

Hi HN,

I built well-net: https://github.com/remoon-net/well

Think tsnet, but without Tailscale or any central server. It’s for secure friend networks — chat, small games, private services.

Existing systems suck in subtle ways: lose your domain → lose your identity and contacts. Delta Chat and Mastodon show the problem. I just want something that works without any central coordination.

Each node gets a stable IPv6 in 2001:00ff::/32 from its MAC using EUI-64. Real MACs → no collisions, no central server needed. NAT is only to avoid overlay address conflicts.

Tech: WireGuard + WebRTC → runs in browsers. Once WebRTC DataChannel works in Service Workers, private services can be accessed directly from the web.

Planned: minimal mail-based chat using Delta Chat with IP-literal addresses like remoon@[2001:ff::1] → DNS-free identity.

Project is experimental.

Would you use this for small friend networks?
