It enables users to create private, peer-to-peer networks without relying on centralized servers, offering a robust alternative to traditional VPNs. With its focus on security, performance, and ease of use, EasyTier supports a wide range of platforms and network configurations.\n\n## Installation\nGetting started with EasyTier is straightforward, with several installation methods available to suit different environments. The recommended approach is to download pre-built binaries from the [official GitHub releases page](https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier/releases \"Download EasyTier Releases\" target=\"_blank\").\n\nOther convenient installation options include:\n*   **Cargo**: `cargo install --git https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier.git easytier`\n*   **Docker**: Refer to the [official documentation](https://easytier.cn/en/guide/installation.html#installation-methods \"EasyTier Docker Installation Guide\" target=\"_blank\") for details.\n*   **Linux Quick Install**: `wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasyTier/EasyTier/main/script/install.sh | sudo bash -s install`\n*   **macOS Homebrew**: `brew tap brewforge/chinese && brew install --cask easytier-gui`\n*   **OpenWrt Luci Web UI**: Available via [luci-app-easytier](https://github.com/EasyTier/luci-app-easytier \"EasyTier OpenWrt Luci App\" target=\"_blank\").\n\nFor comprehensive installation instructions and platform-specific guides, consult the [Full Documentation](https://easytier.cn/en/ \"EasyTier Full Documentation\" target=\"_blank\").\n\n## Examples\nEasyTier offers flexible networking options, from quick setups using shared nodes to fully decentralized deployments.\n\n### Quick Networking with Shared Nodes\nFor users without a public IP, EasyTier provides community-shared public nodes. Nodes automatically attempt NAT traversal, falling back to relaying data through shared nodes if P2P fails.\n\nTo connect two nodes using a shared public node (e.g., `tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010`):\n\n**Node A:**\nbash\nsudo easytier-core -d --network-name abc --network-secret abc -p tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010\n\n\n**Node B:**\nbash\nsudo easytier-core -d --network-name abc --network-secret abc -p tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010\n\n\nVerify connectivity with `easytier-cli peer` and `ping 10.126.126.1` (or `.2`). For improved availability, connect to multiple shared nodes.\n\n### Decentralized Networking\nEasyTier's core design is decentralized, meaning any device capable of communicating with another node can join the virtual network.\n\n1.  **Start First Node (Node A):**\n    bash\n    sudo easytier-core -i 10.144.144.1\n    \n    This node will listen on default ports like TCP/UDP 11010.\n\n2.  **Connect Second Node (Node B):**\n    bash\n    sudo easytier-core -i 10.144.144.2 -p udp://FIRST_NODE_PUBLIC_IP:11010\n    \n    Replace `FIRST_NODE_PUBLIC_IP` with Node A's public IP.\n\nMore nodes can join by connecting to any existing node in the network.\n\n### Advanced Features\nEasyTier also includes advanced capabilities such as:\n*   **Subnet Proxy**: Share local subnets with other nodes in the EasyTier network.\n*   **WireGuard Integration**: Act as a WireGuard server, allowing WireGuard clients (iOS, Android, etc.) to access the EasyTier network.\n*   **Self-Hosted Public Shared Node**: Run your own shared node to facilitate discovery for other networks.\n\n## Why Use EasyTier?\nEasyTier stands out for several compelling reasons:\n*   **Decentralized and Secure**: Nodes are independent, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing security with AES-GCM or WireGuard encryption.\n*   **High Performance**: Built with Rust, it features zero-copy throughout the link and supports various protocols for optimal speed.\n*   **Efficient NAT Traversal**: Advanced capabilities for UDP and IPv6 traversal ensure connectivity even in complex NAT environments.\n*   **Cross-Platform Support**: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and various architectures (X86, ARM, MIPS).\n*   **Easy to Use**: Multiple interfaces including web, client, and command line, along with zero-config deployment.\n*   **Intelligent Routing**: Automatically selects the best route based on latency for a superior network experience.\n\n## Links\n*   **GitHub Repository**: [EasyTier/EasyTier](https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier \"EasyTier GitHub Repository\" target=\"_blank\")\n*   **Full Documentation**: [easytier.cn/en/](https://easytier.cn/en/ \"EasyTier Full Documentation\" target=\"_blank\")\n*   **Download Releases**: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier/releases \"Download EasyTier Releases\" target=\"_blank\")\n*   **Telegram Group**: [Join Telegram](https://t.me/easytier \"EasyTier Telegram Group\" target=\"_blank\")","metrics":{"detailViews":17,"githubClicks":19},"dates":{"published":null,"modified":"2025-11-10T08:01:18.000Z"}}
