Anonymity by Design

Today we are excited to announce the launch of 8kun, the HIGHLY anticipated anonymous imageboard. (Our reveal video for 8kun has been viewed around 500,000 times across social media.)While the big tech monopolies seek to clamp down on user expression and employ invasive data-collection policies, we strive to preserve the original spirit of the Internet. 8kun is data minimalist and doesn’t require you to sign up. 8kun will never ask for a scan of your phone number, driver’s license, facial recognition, or anal probe, etc..

Accessing 8kun

Step right up! There are a multitude of ways to access 8kun. At the time of launch, access to 8kun will simultaneously be available on 8kun.net, on Lokinet, and in Tor browsers. From there we will proceed with a staged rollout of the regular HTTP browser access and finally Project ODIN.

HTTP
Firstly you will be able to browse 8kun using your normal web browser via the official domain: 8kun.net. 8kun faces threat of attack from cybercriminals almost daily, and requires the strongest possible threat mitigation service. Vanwatech provides that service with their extremely robust technology.

Tor
If you’re handy with the Tor browser, you can also browse 8kun through the onion router network. Tor technology allows access to the onion network.

Lokinet
Both the Tor and HTTP methods are common ways to browse the internet, but there exists a new technology called Lokinet. Thanks to the marvel of modern technology, you can now access 8kun with more security, reliability, and anonymity. Two of them in fact! The first is called Lokinet. It is a free browser app that allows you to access 8kun via Lokinet’s incrediblyrobust censorship resistant network. The downloadable Lokinet application is cross-platform, meaning it runs on Windows/Mac/Linux. Head over to our Lokinet page for more details.

Project ODIN
Finally we come to ODIN. This one is undergoing pre-release testing and bug fixes, so we can’t reveal a lot of details just yet. ODIN represents a novel new approach to combatting the deplatforming trend we’ve been seeing over the past several years. Almost anyone will be able to use ODIN to support 8kun and make sure it is strong for years to come.
