An interstellar web proxy is a system that enables data exchange between spacecraft, planetary outposts, and Earth-based networks across interplanetary or interstellar distances. It handles extreme latency, intermittent connectivity, constrained bandwidth, and high error rates while providing familiar web-like access (HTTP, APIs, web apps) to remote users and devices.
In a conflict scenario, constant radio transmission reveals your location. An IWP allows "sneaker net" networking. A stealth probe flies into a system, dumps data to the proxy via a tight laser beam for 5 seconds, and leaves. The proxy stores the data, releasing it to the fleet weeks later. No continuous signal.
