Gateway Co-op

 
The Gateway Co-op is an experiment in collective stewardship of digital infrastructure. We are using a gateway server (explanation here) as a test case for exploring dynamics about collective stewardship, as well as to provide a practical utility — to facilitate publishing from home servers to the internet even in the most difficult or oppressed conditions.
 

 
In short a gateway is a server that helps provide a connection to local servers on the public internet, without revealing their IP address to the public (more details are here).
 
This is similar to corporate services such as cloudflare tunnel, but ours is run by a small co-op of hackers, artists and activists.
 
We see the gateway as a tool, and also as a meeting point.
