Autonomy , the sovereignty of individuals over data about them gains importance with the amount of data that is created. Data Autonomy has two aspects, access and confidentially. Access is the possibility to know what data exists about us and to read it. This ability must be guarded against two problems /...\ Europe vs. Facebook case illustrated this problem very well, but arguably more data is collected by government actors. On the other hand we cannot access the data about us. Besides the obvious fact that we do not have access to data we don't know are being collected, cloud providers /...\ also can cut off access to our accounts for seemingly arbitrary reasons, leading to a loss of access to data we collected for our own use.

that. You have some node which is essentially a dedicated DHT node and a bunch of clients which use it as a gateway to access the DHT instead of participating themselves.
