    Konduit 0.1.0-beta — First public beta

    Konduit is a TCP-native VPN designed to work on networks where UDP is blocked or throttled.
    No kernel modules, no root, no head-of-line blocking.

    What's included

    Server

    • konduit-server: VPN server with server-controlled routing, hot config reload, and stealth mode
    • konduit-ctl: server provisioning tool — bootstrap, add clients, generate QR codes
    • Stealth mode: port 443 deployment behind HAProxy; the server is indistinguishable from a normal HTTPS site to DPI scanners

    Client — Linux

    • konduit: CLI client (static binary)
    • Konduit AppImage: desktop GUI with connection map, traffic graphs, and QR-code provisioning

    Cryptography

    • X25519 ephemeral key exchange
    • ChaCha20-Poly1305 data channel
    • Ed25519 identity keys
    • Argon2id key derivation from server mantra

    Getting started

    See the server setup guides in the repository:

    • docs/server-quickstart.md — install, provision, NAT setup
    • docs/stealth-setup.md — HAProxy + camouflage configuration

    Known limitations

    • macOS, Android, and iOS clients are in development
    • AppImage requires cap_net_admin — granted automatically via polkit on first launch
    • This is a beta: the wire protocol may change before 1.0
