Live · 7 global relay nodes · WireGuard protocol

Networking built
for machines,
not desktops.

NetFlux is a real-time networking layer for robots, vessels, and edge systems — engineered for unstable environments where connectivity is mission-critical.

The problem we solve
General-purpose VPNs weren't
built for this.

Most VPN tools assume stable internet, desktop operating systems, and human users. Real machines don't work that way.

✗ What breaks with generic VPNs
📡
Satellite link drops
UDP-only tools silently fail on Starlink, 4G-LTE, or VSAT when the link degrades. Your robot keeps executing the last command.
🔒
Symmetric NAT blocks
Corporate firewalls, offshore vessels, and mobile networks sit behind symmetric NAT. UDP-only protocols can't punch through.
🤖
No machine-native features
Generic VPNs have no ROS2 support, no safety watchdogs, no headless CLI — they're designed for people, not machines.
✓ How NetFlux is different
🔁
Automatic TCP/443 fallback
When UDP fails, NetFlux instantly falls back to TCP/443 — the same port as HTTPS. Works anywhere a browser does.
🛡️
Built-in safety watchdog
Detects link loss within 500ms and publishes a zero Twist to /cmd_vel — your robot stops safely instead of continuing blind.
⌨️
Headless CLI for machines
One-command install. No GUI required. Systemd auto-reconnect. ROS2 auto-config. Built for unattended edge devices.
Built for real-world machines
If it connects in the field,
NetFlux keeps it connected.

Industrial Robotics

Control robots across continents. Stream ROS2 topics, SSH into embedded systems, and monitor sensor data — all through a secure virtual network that auto-reconnects on link drop.

Maritime & Remote Ops

Vessels operating on Starlink, VSAT, or 4G need a network that survives handoffs and packet loss. NetFlux routes around instability — your ops center stays connected even when the satellite link flickers.

Edge & IoT Infrastructure

Connect hundreds of edge nodes — sensors, cameras, PLCs — without punching holes in firewalls. Each device gets a stable virtual IP regardless of its physical location or NAT environment.

Honest comparison
Built for the use cases
general VPNs skip.

We don't claim to be better at everything. We're built specifically for machines operating in unstable, real-world environments.

Global relay nodes across 4 continents
"We needed a network that survived Starlink handoffs and corporate firewalls in the same deployment. NetFlux was the only tool that just worked."

<30ms
Average latency to nearest relay node
"ROS2 telemetry from a vessel in the South China Sea to our ops center in Singapore. Control loop stays stable even when satellite latency spikes."
— Alicia Bots Robotics Team
500ms
Watchdog response time on link loss
"The safety watchdog caught a link drop before our operator noticed. The robot stopped cleanly. Without it, we'd have had a serious incident."
— Field deployment, warehouse automation
1 cmd
To connect any Linux device or robot
"We spin up a new robot, run one command, and it appears in the dashboard. No VPN config, no firewall rules, no IT ticket. Just works."
