yeah, there's no infrastructure alternative to tor now based on this project.
it is a toy project now, and someone may want to play with it.
i also, if you noticed haven't advised to use the author's hardcoded bootstrap node.
i advised to build own infra to play with it.
next, on tor.
the tor is 12 bootstrap nodes with fixed hardcoded addresses. and many many other nodes.
the tor is not accessible from yggdrasil.
the tor is itn own overlay network.
we can't use the tor.
we can, i guess if bootstrap node sources are published, create a second tor, not in clearnet but in yggdrasil.
but that will not be the tor from tor.org ran by tor team.

imagine your friend's parents live in iran. the friend needs some kind of connection every day just to know the parents are ok.
and parents want to read international news.
if me and the friend setup some amount of nodes on ygg we control, and my friend will run an exit node, why is it bad?
we don't have one big tor like infra for everyone. but for this exacm family the exit node of their son can be a solution? i don't know? maybe it can't? but i or my shudent don't have an ambition that the car he built from the cardboard is an equal to the one produced in bmw factory.
still the cardboard car can be played with.

tor like system for yggdrasil it is of course rudimentary. may have bugs. just a very rough test first draft. but it works! it is made by my student. we tested it today. right now it has a hardcoded bootstrap node. which is on his machine. you can deploy a bootstrap node on your computer, then there should be some other nodes that connect to your bootstrap node and tell it if they are entry(guard), middle or exit nodes. then the client on other machine connects to bootstrap, gets a list of…
