<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>Mycelium Gateways are distributed network access points that provide secure, peer-to-peer internet connectivity services within the Mycelium ecosystem. These gateways facilitate routing, name resolution, and secure access to resources across the network.</p>

<h5 class="alert-heading">Key Concept</h5>
|
|
<p class="mb-0">Mycelium Gateways represent a fundamental shift from centralized internet infrastructure to a distributed, resilient network model where connectivity is provided through a mesh of interconnected nodes rather than traditional ISPs.</p>
