VeilNet Documentation
VeilNet connects your machines over a post-quantum overlay network with no central server.
- Release
- conflux 1.0.0-pre
Docs
Install VeilNet, connect your machines, and deploy and operate your network.
- Getting StartedConnect your first two machines, then install conflux on any platform and join a network.
- Network AccessLearn how a machine connects to the overlay, and how to offer services, subnets and exit nodes from it.
- Identity & AccessManage machine credentials through their lifecycle, and control who can operate the guardian.
- Management PlaneLearn what the guardian does as your organisation's control suite, and how to deploy and run it.
- Monitoring & OperationsCollect telemetry from every machine, and keep the guardian backed up and up to date.
- TroubleshootingRead what conflux reports, and find the fix for each problem.
- ReferenceLook up every conflux command, flag, exit code, variable and file, and learn how conflux protects its secrets.

Anchor Protocol
Learn how the anchor protocol works, from the main ideas to the details.
- How It WorksLearn the main ideas of the anchor protocol: no central server, a post-quantum PKI tree, and the controls that run a realm.
- Identity & TrustLearn what an anchor is, what identifies it, how realms admit it and which checks every peer makes.
- CryptographyLearn how post-quantum cryptography protects every connection, from key exchange to end-to-end encryption.
- Routing & ReachabilityLearn how anchors find each other, choose a route, and offer subnets and exit nodes.
- Control & RevocationLearn how a realm runs without a central server, and how to remove a machine.
- Observability & PerformanceLearn what an anchor reports about itself, and the measured cost of post-quantum cryptography on every connection.
