+## Mix Networks
+[Mix networks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mix_network) are routing protocols, that create hard-to-trace communications, by encrypting and routing traffic through a series of nodes. They help keep you anonymous online, and unlike VPNs -there are no logs
+
+| Provider | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+**[Tor](https://www.torproject.org)** | Tor provides robust anonymity, allowing you to defend against surveillance, circumvent censorship and reduce tracking. It blocks trackers, resists fingerprinting and implements multi-layered encryption by default, meaning you can browse freely. Tor also allows access to OnionLand: hidden services
+**[I2P](https://geti2p.net)** | I2P offers great generic transports that. It is well geared towards accessing hidden services, and has a couple of technical benefits over Tor: P2P friendly with unidirectional short-lived tunnels, it is packet-switched (instead of circuit-switched) with TCP and UDP, and continuiosly profiles peers, in order to select the best performing ones. <br>I2P is less mature, but fully-distributed and self-organising, it's smaller size means that it hasn't yet been blocked or DOSed much
+**[Freenet]()** | Freenet is easy to setup, provides excelland friend To Friend Sharing vs I2P, and is great for publishing content anonymously. It's quite large in size, and very slow so not the best choice for casual browsing
+
+Tor, I2P and Freenet are all anonimity networks- but they work very differently and each is good for specific purposes. So a viable solution would be to use all of them, for different tasks.

+
+#### Notable Mentions
+[Panoramix](https://panoramix-project.eu) is a European project, aiming to use mix-networks to provide anonymity.
+[Nym](https://nymtech.neteu) uses Blockchain, to reward node operators in order to keep the network sustainable.
+
+#### Word of Warning
+To provide low-latency browsing, Tor does not not mix packets or generate cover traffic. If an adversary is powerful enough, theoretically they could either observe the entire network, or just the victims entry and exit nodes. It's worth mentioning, that even though your ISP can not see what you are doing, they will be able determine that you are using a mix net, to hide this- a VPN could be used. If you are doing anything which could put you at risk, then good OpSec is essential, as the authoroties have traced criminals through the Tor network before, and [made arrests](https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/03/how-german-and-us-authorities-took-down-the-owners-of-darknet-drug-emporium-wall-street-market).

 ## DNS
 Without using a secure, privacy-centric DNS all your web requests can be seen in the clear. You should configure your DNS queries to be managed by a service that respects privacy and supports DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS or DNSCrypt.
