Plain-text requirement is almost offensive.

However, I've been toying around with the idea to link bunch of dedicated servers with OpenVPN tunnels and let users connect to them via OpenVPN server (tls) also.

The idea is to form a closed or separate network with services and have it be privacy friendly network.

The main point I am trying to make is that we the people should be able to, and be allowed to run and manage our own network that isn't wiretapped constantly by for-profit intel contractors.
