Project mention: PQConnect – a new easy-to-install layer of Internet security from DJB, Lange | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-27
There are a number (or just one? Mullvad) of commercial VPN providers that provide an optional PQC layer, and that fact is referenced on this project's page.
There is also VPN software that incorporates PQC (also referenced): https://rosenpass.eu
What this project attempts to do is to establish a PQC stream between any two peers end-to-end (in most situations one of the peers will be a server). This is an important difference as a VPN expects a network-protocol (eg. IP) tunnel of some sort to flow across.
