Connect an authorized machine to a Nostr VPN private mesh, review device join requests, and verify access with the nvpn CLI. Use for account-free private networking between agent hosts, people, and servers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Nostr VPN

Use the `nvpn` CLI for private networking without a VPN provider account.
Every device retains its own identity; network membership still needs an
administrator's approval. This workflow does not require paid exits.

## Establish the execution context

- Run `nvpn --version`, `nvpn join-requests --help`, and
  `nvpn join-request --help`. CLI approval and JSON join-request output are
  currently source-only and have not yet shipped in a release. Install a matching
  binary from https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-vpn/releases/latest or use
  `cargo install nvpn`. Check the release's supported architecture.
- Choose an explicit, persistent absolute config path and pass `--config` on
  every command, including elevated ones. Reuse a designated profile; never
  overwrite an existing one with `init --force`.
- A Linux tunnel needs network privileges, `/dev/net/tun`, and `iproute2`;
  containers need `NET_ADMIN` and the TUN device. macOS/Windows need elevated
  platform networking setup. A cloud terminal or plugin does not confer this
  access. If unavailable, report that specific limitation and use an authorized
  machine with those capabilities.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mmalmi/nostr-vpn/nostr-vpn@sha256:78ac00e7aa353893

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.795d96b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
