The service · coming soon · never required

A server of your own.

The Private Line is a managed VPS we set up end to end: the venue, the node, and its own subdomain at cec.direct. Claim it and it's a device of yours: your venue, your node, your address on the internet.

We keep it online, patched and fast. You own it in every way that matters. Cancel anytime; the free app and the shared venue keep working.

The Private Line · one box, three jobs

A name. A venue. A node.

We set all of it up; it arrives switched on. The colors below are the same ones the app uses; How it works tells the whole story.

A name on the internet

It arrives already named: its own subdomain, like unicorn.panda.cec.direct, DNS pointed, certificate issued and renewing itself. Anything that wants a real domain can live behind it: Pangolin, NetBird, a site of yours.

A venue of your own

The signaling, STUN and TURN your devices meet at. We build it, secure it and tune it before it ever reaches you. Your fleet meets there and nobody else ever does.

signalingSTUNTURN1 Gbps

A node in your fleet

It activates as an AllMyStuff node and claims like any device, so it's not a rented dashboard. Open a shell, drop files, host things, straight from the app.

yoursfleetalways-on

It's a real server, not a feature flag: put things on it. The mesh part just comes pre-wired.

Against the free layer · which is going nowhere

The shared venue stays free. This one is yours.

Out of the box your devices meet at a shared, public venue: ours, free, forever. The Line moves the meeting place onto a box that answers to you, and hands you the box while it's at it.

Don't want to wait, or just want your own box? Self-hosting is always an option: every server is a setting, the code is MIT, and it works today. The Line is the same thing without keeping a machine alive. We wrote the whole thing down.

Install the free app. Get in line for the Line.

The app is complete without it, and self-hosting is always an option. The first racks are on their way; say hello and we'll hold you a spot. If you ever leave, your fleet falls back to the shared venue and keeps working.
