Okay from what I read you want encryption and DNS,


Encryption on an open network is pointless because you would have to give out the key so other peoples clients can work. Thus any one even those you want to keep out get in and access to all the data again. Its like putting a lock on your house and giving everyone a key.



As for DNS like service. You would have to have static DNS servers for the clients to work through. That is againest what the theory is, peer to peer, no server. What if the DNS server went down, all their data is gone. Also they are a huge target, they get sued and told they have to hand over the list of names and IPs. Then we are ALL in trouble. Its kinda all or nothing. Either all of us are safe or none of us are safe.
