1 | 1 | ## About dn42 |
2 | 2 | |
3 | -dn42 is a big dynamic [VPN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network), which employs Internet technologies ([BGP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bgp), whois database, [DNS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System), etc). Participants connect to each other using network tunnels ([GRE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Routing_Encapsulation), [OpenVPN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openvpn), [Tinc](http://tinc-vpn.org/), [IPsec](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec)) and exchange routes thanks to the Border Gateway Protocol. Network addresses are assigned in the `172.22.0.0/15` and `172.20.0.0/16` range and private AS numbers are used (see [registry](/services/Whois)) as well as IPv6 addresses from the ULA-Range (`fd00::/8`) - see [FAQ](https://internal.dn42/FAQ#frequently-asked-questions_what-about-ipv6-in-dn42). |
