Neutrinet is a Belgian non-profit that runs its own piece of internet infrastructure. It provides fixed connections and a VPN with a fixed IP so members can self-host from home, and it operates as a full network member with presence at Belgian and Dutch interconnection points. Decision-making runs through open, collective working groups.
# Why they matter to us
Sovereignty starts with infrastructure, not just software choices. Neutrinet shows that a small non-profit can operate real network infrastructure and offer citizens a real alternative to renting connectivity from a handful of commercial ISPs and cloud providers. Their workshops turn “how does the internet actually work” from an abstract question into something members build and maintain themselves.
# Where we connect
- Self-hosting and community-run infrastructure as a concrete form of digital autonomy.
- Net neutrality and the right to run your own services on a shared, non-commercial network.
- A hands-on complement to BeLibre’s more policy- and research-focused work.
