What is the MetaNet?

The MetaNet is a group of people that run the WanDaemon VPN software on their gateway, linking together all their networks into a virtual network of networks.

This is quite common around Hamilton - a lot of WLUG members are on the MetaNet. Since you get assigned a set of (non-real-world) IP addresses, you can talk to other peoples machines directly, not worrying about NAT and worrying only vaguely about firewalls.

Note: The MetaNet is sponsored by (and not to be confused with) "MetaNet Hosting", the people who run the WanDaemon server. Go talk to them if you want email or web hosting.
