Understanding Public and Private Planes in VeilNet #
VeilNet enables secure, post-quantum communication over a decentralized overlay network. One of its most powerful features is the flexible plane system — separating Public Planes and Private Planes to suit both individual users and organizations.
🔓 Public Planess #
Public Planes are globally accessible overlays within the VeilNet fabric. They are designed for maximum decentralization and community contribution.
Key Features: #
Open Access: Any VeilNet user in the Community Tier or higher can connect.
Hosted via Public Portals: Backed by user-contributed or VeilNet-managed public portals.
Earn MP Credits: Running a public portal for a plane helps others connect and earns you Measurement of Participation (MP) credits.
Ideal For:
Personal devices (e.g., laptops, phones)
Home lab sharing
Community services
Early adopters testing the VeilNet network
Important Notes: #
Portals and Rifts connected to Public Planes must be in the same region (e.g., UK, SG, US) to ensure optimal routing.
VeilNet does not collect geolocation data. Regional detection is done via Cloudflare headers at ISP (Internet Service Provider) level.
🔒 Private Planes #
Private Planes in VeilNet are isolated overlay networks built for maximum privacy, control, and security. Each plane forms a fully independent network — portals and rifts within a Private Plane can communicate only with others in the same plane, and are completely invisible to the rest of VeilNet.
Key Features: #
Absolute Isolation: Portals and Rifts in a Private Plane cannot see or interact with entities outside the plane — even other Portals.
Private Infrastructure: Private plane may pair with Private Veils and custom DNS or routing logic tailored to enterprise needs (please contact support for details).
Guaranteed Privacy: Portal can only serve traffic within its own plane — it cannot observe or interfere with traffic from other planes.
Secure Backhaul: Seamlessly link infrastructure across regions without exposing any endpoint to the public internet.
Ideal For: #
Startups needing fully private, zero-trust remote access
Businesses building isolated internal overlays for departments or services
Government, defense, or critical infrastructure operators requiring absolute invisiblity
Service Tier Requirement: #
Private Planes are available starting from the Team service tier and above. This ensures organizations have access to the necessary configuration, support, and infrastructure controls to manage secure, isolated networks effectively.
