Zipline

Private networks between your machines.

Linux, macOS and Windows, connected through firewalls and NAT.

Add a machine in one command

  1. Install the package

    Download it from your Network page, for Linux, macOS or Windows.

  2. Register it

    sudo zipline register

    This starts the Zipline service. On Windows, use an Administrator terminal and leave out sudo.

  3. Confirm it in your browser

    It appears on your Network page, tagged with its OS.

Rules name devices, not addresses

A rule names a tag, so it keeps working as machines come and go. Each change compiles before it saves.

Access policies
allow device.tags:'laptop' devices to access ssh.
allow device.tags:'server' devices to access https.
never allow device.tags:'untrusted' devices to access smb.

Nothing connects until a rule allows it.

The network enforces policy, not each machine on its own.

Share a network, keep control

Every network has one owner. Invite managers to run it and contributors to add machines.

Every account gets its own network

It starts with four device tags: laptop, server, media and untrusted.
