LokiNet

LokiNet is the reference implementation of LLARP (low latency anonymous routing protocol), a layer 3 onion routing protocol.

You can learn more about the high level design of LLARP here

And you can read the LLARP protocol specification here

Building

If you don't have libsodium 1.0.16 or higher use the lokinet builder repo.

Otherwise:

$ sudo apt install git libcap-dev build-essential ninja-build cmake libsodium-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ make

Usage

Windows

Windows only supports client mode so you run lokinet.exe and that's it.

Linux

Client mode:

For simple testing do:

$ lokinet

On systemd based distros you can persist it in the background:

# systemctl enable --now lokinet-client

Relay mode:

you can participate as a relay node trivially (for now).

On systemd based linux distros do:

# systemctl enable --now lokinet-relay

Alternatively:

# mkdir /usr/local/lokinet
# cd /usr/local/lokinet
# lokinet -g /usr/local/lokinet/daemon.ini
# lokinet /usr/local/lokinet/daemon.ini
