Nostr VPN vs EE Gateway

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.

EE Gateway turns your iPhone into a Bluetooth gateway for open BLE networks. It scans for nearby BLE devices from supported partner networks and forwards their broadcasts to the associated network, extending ground coverage with hardware already in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS • Connect the app with the API token from your encryptedenergy.com gateway page • EE Gateway listens for nearby beacon broadcasts over Bluetooth • Each packet is stamped with signal strength and location, then relayed securely • Watch live status: devices heard, packets relayed, GPS quality, and a full diagnostics log FEATURES • Field Mode for dedicated scanning sessions requiring the most frequent scans • Best-effort background scanning while you move through the day • On-device diagnostics log with one-tap export • Fixed-location override for stationary indoor placements • Location is used only to geotag relayed packets. EE Gateway is the companion to the EE Gateway app for umbrelOS home servers. A free encryptedenergy.com account is required.
