To fit a layperson's understanding maybe the term VPLAN or VPWAN would work? Except I'm not sure laypeople really know what a WAN is. I think more people know LAN but then there could be confusion with VLANs.

Names are hard.

Personally this Mycoria reminds me more of a global tailnet I.e tailscale's VPN

And I guess as an extension, at least currently, Mycoria is an option for building "darknet services" except the privacy aspects aren't quite there yet compared to tor?
