Quick Start

1. Server Setup

# Run automated provisioning
cd provisioning
python3 provision_server.py --host <server-ip>

2. Client Setup

macOS (Recommended - Native App)

# Build macOS application
cd client
./scripts/build-mac.sh

# Or install pre-built DMG
open build/TorrentVPN-0.1.0.dmg
# Drag to Applications folder

📖 Complete macOS Installation Guide

All Platforms (Development)

# Install client
cd client
npm install
npm run build

# Run client
npm start

3. Create VPN Connection

1. Open client application
2. Click "New Server Connection"
3. Follow setup wizard to provision and configure server
4. Create user credentials
5. Enable VPN connection

CTRU File Format

CTRU (Credential Torrent Remote User) files contain:

• Server connection details
• User credentials
• Encryption certificates
• Encrypted with user password using Argon2id + AES-256-GCM

Security

• All traffic encrypted with AES-256-GCM
• Perfect forward secrecy with ephemeral keys
• Certificate pinning
• No password authentication (cert-based only)
• Full disk encryption (LUKS) on servers
• Zero-knowledge architecture
