OUR TECHNOLOGY

Reimagining the internet for the IPv6 era.

Open networks. Direct connections. Practical engineering. Our goal is to make the potential of the end-to-end internet useful to everyday people.

WHY NOW?

New addresses.
New possibilities.

IPv6 is usually introduced as the answer to IPv4 address scarcity. We believe its bigger opportunity is architectural: globally unique addresses make it practical for individual devices to participate more directly in the internet.

This does not make every device automatically reachable. Firewalls, network policies, changing addresses, authentication, and security remain important. But IPv6 removes many of the address-sharing constraints that shaped the NAT-heavy IPv4 era.

A new network deserves more than old applications with new addresses. It deserves applications designed around personal devices, direct communication, and user-controlled services.

From centralised client-server networking to a personal IPv6 peer network

Conceptual models. Practical deployments will often blend IPv4, IPv6, public cloud services, and peer-to-peer connections.

WHAT COMES NEXT

The challenge shifts from reaching devices to managing them.

When devices can participate directly, individuals need better tools for discovery, trust, permissions, and everyday management.

01

Device discovery

Find and identify your own devices and services without memorising addresses.

02

Identity & trust

Know which device or user is requesting access, and why it should be trusted.

03

Secure connectivity

Establish encrypted paths with suitable security controls and connectivity fallbacks.

04

Personal service management

Manage storage, apps, backups, and permissions without becoming a systems administrator.

OUR ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES

Open. Decentralised. Secure.

Principles inform our engineering choices—but we favour workable, verifiable systems over ideological purity.

01 /

Peer-to-peer where it makes sense

Prefer direct encrypted data paths where possible, while using coordination services when they make connectivity practical.

02 /

Security as part of the architecture

Use established cryptographic protocols, appropriate access boundaries, and thoughtful device and service management.

03 /

Open foundations, original engineering

Build on Linux, OpenWrt, WireGuard, and open standards, and contribute our own work when it may help others.

04 /

Reliability in real networks

Measure what matters: latency, loss, congestion, routing, reconnection behaviour, and the quality of the actual user experience.

05 /

Privacy through deliberate choices

Minimise unnecessary data processing, define access carefully, and be transparent about what a system does and does not protect.
