Nostr VPN creates private mesh VPN networks between your own devices and trusted peers. Create a network, invite devices, start the VPN, and reach your private services through encrypted tunnels. Devices can use readable MagicDNS names, direct LAN paths when available, relay-assisted paths when needed, and optional exit-node routing through a peer or WireGuard upstream you control. You choose the networks, peers, relays, routes, and exit nodes. Nostr VPN does not sell or operate public VPN exits and is not a public internet proxy, anonymity, or stealth browsing service.
