Raw Blame History

LokiNet

Lokinet is a private, decentralized and Sybil resistant overlay network for the internet, it uses a new routing protocol called LLARP (Low latency anonymous routing protocol)

You can learn more about the high level design of LLARP here And you can read the LLARP protocol specification here

Building

You have 2 ways the build this project

Recommended Method (for stable builds)

$ sudo apt install build-essential libtool autoconf cmake git
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/majestrate/llarpd-builder
$ cd llarpd-builder
$ make

Development build method

Please note development builds are likely to be unstable

Build requirements:

CMake
ninja
libsodium >= 1.0.14
c++ 11 capable C++ compiler

Building a debug build:

$ make

Running

Right now the reference daemon connects to nodes you tell it to and that's it.

If you built using the recommended way just run:

$ ./llarpd

It'll attempt to connect to a test node I run and keep the session alive. That's it.

If you built using the dev build you are expected to configure the daemon yourself.
