Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Lokinet.
I2P
Encrypted overlay network for anonymous sites, messaging and file sharing.
I2P is an encrypted overlay network with built-in email, torrenting and site hosting, but it is slow and reaching the ordinary internet needs an outproxy.
Orbot

Orbot routes chosen apps through the much larger Tor network on Android and iOS, trading Lokinet's lower latency for a bigger anonymity set.
InviZible Pro
Android app bundling Tor, I2P and DNSCrypt with a no-root mode.
InviZible Pro bundles Tor, I2P and DNSCrypt in one Android app with per-app rules and no root, but runs only on Android.
