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. ## Installation Getting 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"). Other convenient installation options include: * **Cargo**: `cargo install --git https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier.git easytier` * **Docker**: Refer to the [official documentation](https://easytier.cn/en/guide/installation.html#installation-methods "EasyTier Docker Installation Guide" target="_blank") for details. * **Linux Quick Install**: `wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasyTier/EasyTier/main/script/install.sh | sudo bash -s install` * **macOS Homebrew**: `brew tap brewforge/chinese && brew install --cask easytier-gui` * **OpenWrt Luci Web UI**: Available via [luci-app-easytier](https://github.com/EasyTier/luci-app-easytier "EasyTier OpenWrt Luci App" target="_blank"). For comprehensive installation instructions and platform-specific guides, consult the [Full Documentation](https://easytier.cn/en/ "EasyTier Full Documentation" target="_blank"). ## Examples EasyTier offers flexible networking options, from quick setups using shared nodes to fully decentralized deployments. ### Quick Networking with Shared Nodes For 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. To connect two nodes using a shared public node (e.g., `tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010`): **Node A:** bash sudo easytier-core -d --network-name abc --network-secret abc -p tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010 **Node B:** bash sudo easytier-core -d --network-name abc --network-secret abc -p tcp://public.easytier.cn:11010 Verify connectivity with `easytier-cli peer` and `ping 10.126.126.1` (or `.2`). For improved availability, connect to multiple shared nodes. ### Decentralized Networking EasyTier's core design is decentralized, meaning any device capable of communicating with another node can join the virtual network. 1. **Start First Node (Node A):** bash sudo easytier-core -i 10.144.144.1 This node will listen on default ports like TCP/UDP 11010. 2. **Connect Second Node (Node B):** bash sudo easytier-core -i 10.144.144.2 -p udp://FIRST_NODE_PUBLIC_IP:11010 Replace `FIRST_NODE_PUBLIC_IP` with Node A's public IP. More nodes can join by connecting to any existing node in the network. ### Advanced Features EasyTier also includes advanced capabilities such as: * **Subnet Proxy**: Share local subnets with other nodes in the EasyTier network. * **WireGuard Integration**: Act as a WireGuard server, allowing WireGuard clients (iOS, Android, etc.) to access the EasyTier network. * **Self-Hosted Public Shared Node**: Run your own shared node to facilitate discovery for other networks. ## Why Use EasyTier? EasyTier stands out for several compelling reasons: * **Decentralized and Secure**: Nodes are independent, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing security with AES-GCM or WireGuard encryption. * **High Performance**: Built with Rust, it features zero-copy throughout the link and supports various protocols for optimal speed. * **Efficient NAT Traversal**: Advanced capabilities for UDP and IPv6 traversal ensure connectivity even in complex NAT environments. * **Cross-Platform Support**: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and various architectures (X86, ARM, MIPS). * **Easy to Use**: Multiple interfaces including web, client, and command line, along with zero-config deployment. * **Intelligent Routing**: Automatically selects the best route based on latency for a superior network experience. ## Links * **GitHub Repository**: [EasyTier/EasyTier](https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier "EasyTier GitHub Repository" target="_blank") * **Full Documentation**: [easytier.cn/en/](https://easytier.cn/en/ "EasyTier Full Documentation" target="_blank") * **Download Releases**: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/EasyTier/EasyTier/releases "Download EasyTier Releases" target="_blank") * **Telegram Group**: [Join Telegram](https://t.me/easytier "EasyTier Telegram Group" target="_blank")
