Reticulum Network Stack
The cryptographic mesh protocol underlying everything here. No source addresses. No central control. End-to-end encryption on every packet, everywhere, always.
// Mesh communication for the free world
Nomad Network lets you communicate, browse pages, and share files across LoRa radio, packet radio, WiFi, and the internet — fully encrypted, with no servers to trust and no infrastructure to own.
Built on Reticulum — a cryptographic networking stack that runs on anything — Nomad Network works without kill-switches, surveillance, or central oversight.
Every message, every page request, every file transfer — encrypted with strong cryptography by default. Not optional. Not a premium feature.
No DNS. No IP addresses. No backbone to take down. Every peer is identified by a cryptographic hash. The network is the people on it.
WiFi, ethernet, LoRa, packet radio, serial lines, I2P, Tor — Reticulum treats them all equally. Tested and working over 300bps HF radio links.
Nodes hold encrypted messages for peers that are offline. When they reconnect — anywhere on the mesh — delivery happens automatically.
From command-line to mobile app, Nomad Network meets you where you are.
Browse the mesh from any web browser. A local Flask proxy translates µ-pages — Nomad Network's lightweight hypertext format — into HTML. No terminal, no TUI, just click links and navigate. Requires Python 3. Built by Node Star.
Get Nomad NetBrowserThe original text-user-interface client. Full-featured: message board, page browser, node directory. Runs headlessly as a daemon. The backbone of the network.
View on GitHubAndroid, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. A full LXMF client with a proper GUI — great for messaging and staying connected on the go. Connects to the same Reticulum backbone.
Download SidebandBuild your own apps on the Reticulum protocol. Runs entirely in userland, pure Python, no root required. A cryptographic transport for whatever you can imagine.
Explore ReticulumThe same encrypted packets flow across vastly different physical layers — simultaneously, seamlessly, with automatic routing between them.
The cryptographic mesh protocol underlying everything here. No source addresses. No central control. End-to-end encryption on every packet, everywhere, always.
The easiest way onto the mesh is a double-click. Both apps connect you to real nodes over the internet — no radio hardware needed to start.
Browse µ-pages from any web browser you already have. Download, double-click to launch, and you're on the mesh. Requires Python 3. Built by Node Star as the friendliest on-ramp to Nomad Network.
↓ Download Nomad NetBrowserA full graphical LXMF client for messaging, file sharing, and staying connected on the go — on your phone or desktop. Works over LoRa, WiFi, and the internet.
Get Sideband ↗One command gets the full stack — Reticulum, LXMF, and the NomadNet TUI client.
Edit your Reticulum config to point at a testnet hub. Reach global peers instantly — no radio required.
Flash an RNode (ESP32 LoRa), add it to your config, and join the physical mesh.
Right now, the number of people with a presence on the mesh is small enough that you could know most of them by name. That's about to change.
Get your node running. Write your page. Share your hash. Get listed. You'll be able to say you were there before everyone else — and you'll have a destination hash to prove it.
