Johnathan Corgan 6a564e26ac Prepare the v0.5.0 release content
Everything the release needs except the version number, which stays at
0.5.0-dev until the tag.

The changelog entry covers only the work that is new on this line. The
point release's forty-six entries arrived under their own heading with the
forward merge and are left alone; the twenty that remained are regrouped by
topic and eight more added for changes no entry covered. Three of those
eight matter to someone upgrading. Five root modules and four re-exports
left the public library surface and Node::connections narrowed, none of it
recorded anywhere; the entry names what to use instead and distinguishes
the removed connection-phase enum from the Noise type of the same name,
which is a different type that still exists. Tracing targets moved, so an
existing RUST_LOG filter stops matching rather than erroring. And the
handshake resend interval key no longer governs the first resend, which is
now a constant, though it still governs later ones.

Seven more entries cover the work that landed after the first content pass
was written: the experimental native datagram API, the fipsctl probe
diagnostic, per-instance transport addressing, the app-owned UDP socket
seam, and the connect, disconnect and path-MTU fixes. The four bug fixes
among them all reach the deployed line, so the release notes no longer
claim this release carries exactly one fix for a shipped bug; it carries
four.

There is no security section, because after the split every security entry
belongs to the point release. The release notes say so plainly rather than
leaving a reader upgrading across both releases to conclude this one
carries no security work.

The notes are organized by audience, since the release spans OpenWrt
routers, embedders, FreeBSD, and the existing platforms, and a single list
serves none of them. The native datagram API is given a section of its own
rather than folded into the embedding seam: it is a client-facing API
rather than a way to host a node, and its one rule with no Berkeley-socket
counterpart, that the v1 wire carries no half-close, needs to be somewhere
a client author will read it. FreeBSD is advertised as supported on x86_64
only, stated wherever the platform appears. Android is advertised as an
embedding seam and not as a supported platform: a compile-gated library
surface with no artifact and no host application guide.

The configuration table rename is carried through every shipped file that
taught the old spelling: nine documentation files, the OpenWrt sample
config and a test generator, twenty-two sites in all. Guides written this
same cycle were among them, which is how the omission was found. The
documentation that arrived with the native API was checked for the same
omission and was already clean. The compatibility tests keep the old
spelling deliberately, since they exist to test the fold.

The changelog section is the fold of master's [Unreleased], not a snapshot
of it. An earlier version of this commit took a copy that then drifted, so
each section ended up holding a bullet the other did not and re-folding
them would have picked a winner silently. Both causes were fixed on master
instead — the NixOS module had never been recorded there, and the
pre-release batch of fixes was new — so [Unreleased] is a strict superset
and this is a copy rather than a merge. [0.5.0] carries all forty-six
bullets byte for byte, [Unreleased] is empty, and [0.4.2] is untouched,
checked by hashing it against master's copy.

The BLE work landed after the content pass and gets one summary entry in
the changelog and one section in the release notes rather than nine
bullets: the ble_available gate replacing target_os = "linux",
packet-boundary recovery for stream-oriented backends, peer recognition by
node identity instead of a rotating link address, the L2CAP PSM moving
into the backend seam and onto the advertisement, the embedder-supplied
Android radio, bounded probe retry, and inbound handshakes moved off the
accept loop.

The two release-notes copies no longer share their link paths. Relative
links resolve from one directory only, so the seven written for
docs/releases/ all 404ed from the root copy. The root copy now uses paths
from the repository root and the versioned copy keeps the ../ form; both
sets were resolved against the tree. The same two links are broken the
same way in the v0.4.0 through v0.4.2 notes, left as shipped history.

The contributor tallies are re-derived against maint..HEAD rather than
adjusted: twenty commits from outside the project and 171 from me, with
Arjen at fifteen and fr34aky at two. An earlier count of twelve and 138
was carried from a measurement taken three days before this content was
written, and the BLE branch widened the gap after it. Arjen's NixOS flake
module, the UDP sin6_scope_id fix and most of the BLE rework were
uncredited, as was fr34aky's L2CAP PSM seam. They want one last re-derive
at tag time if anything lands before the tag.

A sweep of all 99 tracked markdown files against the tree corrected
fifty-three of them. Four told the reader to run a build.sh that does not
exist; the only harness builder is testing/scripts/build.sh. The BLE build
prerequisites were described as optional on the strength of a probe that
build.rs does not perform, and bluez was named a build prerequisite when
libdbus-sys asks only for libdbus-1-dev and pkg-config and bluez is the
runtime daemon. Link cost is the primary sort key in next-hop ranking, not
reserved for future use; Ethernet runs on macOS as well as Linux; the BLE
MTU is the L2CAP CoC MTU rather than a negotiated ATT_MTU; effective
Ethernet MTU is 1497; the LAN discovery subsystem is src/mdns and eight
citations still named a src/discovery that never existed here. The
connectivity states in three tutorials were invented, and their jq filters
matched nothing including healthy peers. One command filtered on a literal
fd97: address prefix, which only the first byte of fixes, so it returned
empty for all but one reader in 256 and every later step using the
variable failed silently. transports.tor.advertise_on_nostr was
undocumented despite being validated against node.rendezvous.nostr.enabled.

The transport design document gains the BLE section it never had, written
from the source: the backend cascade and its compile_error tripwire, the
platform gate, the PSM advertisement wire layout and the byte budget that
forces a 16-bit service-data key, and the probe and admission bounds.

Three source files carried the same class of staleness and are corrected
with the documentation: the OpenWrt ipk usage line and Makefile error text
both named a packaging/openwrt that does not exist, and chaos.sh parsed
--subnet without listing it.

Folded in with the content commit, having been prepared alongside it:

The three GitHub Action pins that had gone stale. Every third-party
action is pinned to a commit SHA, nothing reports that a pin has aged,
and re-resolving all ten against their tags found dorny/test-reporter@v2,
taiki-e/install-action@v2 and vmactions/freebsd-vm@v1 had moved. The
three install-action@nextest references stay unpinned, since that action
reads the tool to install from the ref name. check-action-pins.sh passes
at 75 references and all nine workflow files parse.

The lockfile refresh, which is the mutating half of the dependency sweep.
Thirty-six packages move to their latest semver-compatible versions and
every one is transitive; nothing declared in Cargo.toml changes version.
No advisory forces any of them. It was taken before the validation
battery, because a gate run against a lockfile that later moves proves
nothing about what ships.

The sha2 0.10 to 0.11, hkdf 0.12 to 0.13 and bech32 0.11 to 0.12 majors,
three of the four deferred at v0.4.0 for change surface rather than
security. All three land with no source change. sha2 and hkdf must move
together, since both depend on digest 0.11, and neither changes an
algorithm. That matters because the chaining-key KDF in the Noise
handshake is built on Hkdf::<Sha256>, where an output change would be a
wire break rather than a compile error; no known-answer vectors exist for
that path, so the wire-compatibility gate is what covers it. secp256k1
0.31 is deliberately absent, since nostr's own requirement would leave
two copies of the ECC library in the tree.

The README support matrix, rebuilt as one feature table broken out by
Linux variety. A single Linux column hid that Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and
NixOS are one glibc build differing in packaging, that OpenWrt is musl
and drops BLE, and that Android is not a daemon platform. Transport rows
sort by how many platforms carry them. A Native API row reads its
platform set from the cfg gates. The installer row becomes a package
format row naming the artifact, and only the .deb is exercised per
release.

Four changelog and release-note gaps the BLE re-walk found: a Bluetooth
LE bullet stranded inside the released 0.4.2 section, a missing Fixed
entry for the scan and probe loop counting a pool-refused connection as
an established link, the unnamed embedder call that installs an
application-owned radio, and the fact that stopping the transport now
stops scanning as well as advertising.

Three release-document gaps found walking the unsurveyed commits: the UDP
reuse-flag fix stated in the direction opposite to the one it was made,
with the silent second-daemon bind it prevents left unsaid; the corrected
native-API socket paragraph carried into both release-note copies, which
still named SOCK_SEQPACKET on FreeBSD and two kernels where three are
handled; and the coordinate-cache hardening, which shipped with no text
anywhere despite adding four operator-visible status fields. That last
entry states plainly that the checks are mitigations and not a closure,
since the coordinate is still not authenticated.

Also folded in, the documentation pass that followed the content commit:

A stage-pipeline diagram for the probe, embedded in the fipsctl
reference under the five-stage list. It draws the five stages left to
right with each stage's failure reasons below it, and the bypass that
skips both lookup stages when the coordinates are cached or the target
is a direct peer. Its branches come from the probe state machine rather
than from the report, so the path stage is drawn as the one failure that
does not stop the probe.

A rewrite of the README's "What FIPS does" section. It now opens with
what a machine running FIPS gets, rather than with the two deployment
modes, and gives the self-organizing and permissionless property its own
paragraph since it holds for both modes.

A regrouping of the README's feature list into the mesh, getting traffic
onto it, and running a node, with a bullet added for the native datagram
API, which had none despite sitting in the support matrix. The Quick
start now leads with the released packages rather than a source build.
It also fixes a real defect: the package enables fips.service and
fips-dns.service and starts neither on a fresh install, so .fips name
resolution was silently dead until the next reboot and neither page said
to start the service.

A rewrite of the release notes. They opened with seven subsections of
upgrade caveats and reached the first feature two hundred lines in; they
now open with a summary of the release and elaborate below it in the
same order. Android is stated as supported through an embedded crate
rather than as a standalone daemon, consistently across all three
documents. The OpenWrt pair is corrected: it is 802.11s between routers
with FIPS supplying encryption, authentication and routing, plus a
convention of an open !FIPS SSID a client joins over WiFi, not meshing
over a router's own radios. The probe's path output is described as the
least-common-ancestor walk, which is the worst-case fallback route
rather than the route a packet takes. Detail that did not change what a
reader does was cut from the notes and kept in the changelog.

FIPS: Free Internetworking Peering System

banner License: MIT Rust Status

A self-organizing encrypted mesh network built on Nostr identities, capable of operating over arbitrary transports without central infrastructure.

FIPS is under active development. The protocol and APIs are not yet stable. See Status & roadmap below.

What FIPS does

A machine running FIPS becomes a node in the mesh with a self-generated cryptographic identity, tunneling existing IPv6 traffic over the mesh or bypassing IP altogether and letting natively written applications communicate directly with each other. In either case all traffic between nodes is end-to-end encrypted and authenticated.

The mesh is self-organizing and permissionless. Any node can join and reach any other node without a central address registry, routing configuration, or coordination server. Peering between nodes can be manually configured or use auto-discovery.

There are two equally-supported deployment modes.

As an overlay on top of existing IP networks, FIPS lets your node reach any other FIPS node wherever it sits: behind a NAT, on a different ISP, on a phone over cellular, on a laptop with only Bluetooth in range, or behind a Tor onion.

Ground up over raw Ethernet, WiFi, or Bluetooth, FIPS provides a complete permissionless network without any pre-existing IP infrastructure, ISP, or DNS. Any node that joins the link gets routable IPv6 addresses, peer discovery, and a path to every other node automatically. Support exists in OpenWrt for turning a router radio into a backhaul link and for creating an open access SSID so a phone or laptop can join without any configuration.

Either way, existing networking software runs over it unchanged — SSH, HTTP servers, file transfer, anything IPv6-native works the same way it would on a local network. Applications written to the FIPS native API skip that layer entirely and address each other by public key, with no IPv6 emulation.

Features

The mesh

  • Self-organizing mesh routing. Spanning-tree coordinates with bloom-filter-guided discovery; no global routing tables, no flooding.
  • Multi-transport. UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, Nym, and Bluetooth (BLE L2CAP) ship today; transports compose on a single mesh and a node may run several at once.
  • Self-assigned cryptographic identity. secp256k1 / schnorr keypairs as node addresses; no registration, no central authority.
  • Two-layer encryption. Noise IK between peers (hop-by-hop) and Noise XK between mesh endpoints (independent end-to-end), with periodic rekey for forward secrecy.
  • (Optional) Nostr-mediated discovery and NAT traversal. Peers may publish endpoint adverts on public Nostr relays, exchange peering candidates, and establish direct paths through NATs using STUN-assisted hole punching. On the local network, mDNS LAN discovery finds peers directly without relays.

Getting traffic onto it

  • IPv6 adapter. A TUN interface maps each remote npub to an fd00::/8 address, so unmodified IPv6 software reaches mesh peers as <npub>.fips. Built-in .fips DNS resolver, with optional static name mapping via /etc/fips/hosts.
  • Native datagram API. A local program moves bytes between two public keys over the mesh, addressing a peer as npub:port with no IPv6 emulation and no TUN device in the path. connect and bind take a key and a port, and from there it is ordinary socket calls.
  • LAN gateway. Optional fips-gateway service folds an entire unmodified LAN into the mesh: outbound (LAN clients reach mesh destinations through a DNS-allocated virtual IPv6 pool and nftables NAT) and inbound (LAN-side services exposed to the mesh through 1:1 port forwards).
  • OpenWrt support. FIPS ships as an OpenWrt package. Routers run 802.11s between themselves as a bare L2 link, with FIPS supplying the encryption, authentication and routing over it. A second helper brings up an open !FIPS SSID, the same on every router, which a FIPS client joins over WiFi without configuration.

Running a node

  • Operator visibility. fipsctl CLI for control and inspection with time-series stats history queryable for any metric, fipstop TUI for live status with inline sparkline dashboards, and a JSON-line control socket on each binary for direct programmatic access.
  • Per-link metrics. RTT, loss, jitter, and goodput on every hop, plus mesh-size estimation, via the Metrics Measurement Protocol.
  • ECN congestion signaling. Hop-by-hop CE-flag relay with RFC 3168 IPv6 marking and transport kernel-drop detection.
  • Mesh-interface security baseline. Optional default-deny nftables policy for fips0 shipped as a packaged conffile (/etc/fips/fips.nft) with an operator drop-in directory (/etc/fips/fips.d/) and a disabled-by-default fips-firewall.service. The baseline polices only the mesh interface, leaving Docker, Tor, and the host firewall untouched.
  • Reproducible builds with toolchain pinning and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

Quick start

Start from a released package. Every packaged platform in the table below gets an installer built and published per release, with checksums, on the releases page. Building from source produces the same artifacts and the same post-install state, so it is the path to take when you want to modify FIPS rather than run it.

On Debian or Ubuntu, download fips_<version>_amd64.deb (or _arm64.deb) and install it:

sudo dpkg -i fips_<version>_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl start fips fips-dns

This installs the daemon, CLI tools (fipsctl, fipstop), the fips-dns service that wires .fips name resolution into the host resolver, the optional fips-gateway service, systemd units, and a default /etc/fips/fips.yaml you can edit before starting. The package enables fips and fips-dns but starts neither, which is why the second command is there.

For macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenWrt, the systemd tarball or a Nix flake, see docs/getting-started.md for the full multi-platform installation guide.

To join a live mesh and reach your first peer, follow the new-user tutorial progression starting at docs/tutorials/join-the-test-mesh.md.

Building from source

To build the Debian package yourself rather than downloading it:

git clone https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips.git
cd fips
cargo install cargo-deb
cargo deb
sudo dpkg -i target/debian/fips_*.deb

For the binaries alone, without an installer:

cargo build --release

Requires Rust 1.94.1+ (edition 2024). Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows run as standalone daemons. FreeBSD is packaged for x86_64 only; no aarch64 FreeBSD artifact is built or tested. Android is supported as an embedded crate rather than as a standalone daemon: a compile-gated library surface where the host app owns the TUN (a VpnService, for example) and reaches the built-in resolver through Node::dns_local_addr(). There is no Android daemon artifact and no host-app guide. Transport and feature availability varies by platform.

Feature Debian/Ubuntu Arch NixOS macOS OpenWrt FreeBSD Android Windows
UDP ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
TCP ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Tor ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅
Nym ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅ ❌ ✅
Ethernet ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌
BLE ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌ ✅ ❌
Native API ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌
Package format .deb AUR flake .pkg .ipk / .apk .pkg ❌ ZIP

A column records what builds and runs in a packaged daemon, FreeBSD on x86_64 only. Native API is the native datagram API, which is off by default; Windows cannot carry it, because it has no SCM_RIGHTS with which to pass a descriptor. Package format names the artifact you install, and a ❌ there means the platform ships none. Windows is the odd one: its ZIP is an archive you unpack yourself rather than a package an installer consumes, and there is no MSI.

Five of these columns are Linux: Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, NixOS, OpenWrt and Android. Linux is not one target. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and NixOS are the same glibc build, and what differs is the packaging: Debian and Ubuntu take the same .deb, Arch takes fips from the AUR, and NixOS uses the Nix flake described below. Only the .deb is exercised per release, by the deb-install suite across debian12, debian13, ubuntu22, ubuntu24 and ubuntu26; neither the AUR package nor the flake is. OpenWrt is a musl target rather than glibc, and it takes an .ipk on 24.x and earlier or an .apk on 25 and later; both carry the fips-mesh-setup and fips-ap-setup helpers.

Android records what compiles for aarch64-linux-android under the CI cross-check and nothing more: no transport in that column is exercised on a device or an emulator, so read it as "compiles", not "verified here". Being an embedded crate rather than a daemon platform, it has nothing to install, which is what its ❌ package format records. The BLE cell is narrower still: the transport compiles, but the radio behind it is supplied by the embedding application rather than by FIPS, and no part of that path is device-tested.

On Linux, a source build requires libclang — the LAN gateway's nftables bindings are generated by bindgen at build time, which needs libclang.so on the build host. Install it before building (sudo apt install libclang-dev on Debian / Ubuntu); without it the build fails inside the rustables crate with an "Unable to find libclang" error. This is a build-time prerequisite only — it is not a runtime dependency, and the pre-built .deb artifacts do not need it.

BLE compiles on every glibc Linux target and on Android, and is excluded on musl. On glibc Linux, libdbus is a hard build prerequisite (sudo apt install libdbus-1-dev pkg-config on Debian / Ubuntu) — without it the build fails inside libdbus-sys rather than skipping BLE. The BlueZ daemon itself is a runtime dependency, not a build one. The OpenWrt ipk is a musl target, so it omits BLE.

Nym (mixnet) transport builds on all desktop platforms. The OpenWrt ❌ is provisional, pending verification of nym-socks5-client availability on the target; it will flip to ✅ only if confirmed buildable there.

Alternatively, the repo ships a Nix flake: nix develop drops you into a shell with the pinned toolchain and every build prerequisite (libclang, dbus, pkg-config) already provided, and nix build .#fips builds all four binaries with no host setup. See the Nix / NixOS section of packaging/README.md.

Documentation

docs/ is organised by reader purpose:

  • Tutorials — hand-held walk-throughs from a fresh install through to a participating mesh node, plus advanced deployments (gateway on OpenWrt, hosting services, ground-up two-device mesh).
  • How-to guides — operator recipes for specific tasks: firewall activation, Nostr discovery, Tor onion service, Bluetooth peering, 802.11s mesh backhaul and the open access SSID on OpenWrt, LAN gateway deployment and troubleshooting, MTU diagnostics, host aliases, persistent identity, unprivileged-user setup, UDP buffer tuning.
  • Reference — fips.yaml configuration, wire formats, control-socket protocol, CLI references for each binary, security posture matrix, Nostr events catalog, transport statistics inventory.
  • Design — protocol-level architecture and layer specifications. Start with fips-concepts.md for the framing, then fips-architecture.md for the protocol stack.
  • Release notes — per-version notes, including v0.5.0.

If you want to contribute, see CONTRIBUTING.md and testing/README.md.

Examples

  • examples/sidecar-nostr-relay/ — Run a strfry Nostr relay reachable exclusively over the FIPS mesh. The relay container shares the FIPS sidecar's network namespace and is isolated from the host network.
  • examples/sidecar-nostr-mixnet-relay/ — Single-container demo of FIPS peering through a mixnet (implemented with Nym): the FIPS daemon, the mixnet proxy, and a strfry Nostr relay all in one isolated container, with the direct route to the peer firewalled off so traffic provably crosses the mixnet.
  • examples/k8s-sidecar/ — Run FIPS as a Kubernetes Pod sidecar. The sidecar creates fips0 in the Pod's shared network namespace so every other container in the Pod gets mesh access without modification.
  • examples/wireguard-sidecar-macos/ — Reach the FIPS mesh from a macOS host through a local Docker container over a WireGuard tunnel. Only traffic destined for fd00::/8 transits the sidecar; regular internet traffic continues to use the host network.

Status & roadmap

FIPS is at v0.5.0 on the master branch, the first feature release since v0.4.0. v0.4.2 was the last release on the maintenance line, so how much of this release is new to you depends on which version you are upgrading from. The core protocol works end-to-end over UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, Nym, and Bluetooth on a global, public test mesh of thousands of nodes.

v0.5.0 is a platform-and-lifecycle release. It adds FreeBSD as a packaged platform (x86_64 only), OpenWrt setup helpers for an 802.11s mesh between routers (fips-mesh-setup) and for the open !FIPS client SSID (fips-ap-setup), and an Android embedding interface for apps that own their own TUN. Node health is now determined at start completion and published as Degraded or Failed, a node with no transport up is a fatal start rather than a silent one, and shutdown runs a bounded drain window (node.drain_timeout_secs, default 2 seconds) so live traffic is not cut mid-flight. The node.discovery.* configuration table splits into node.lookup.* and node.rendezvous.*; a deployed node.discovery: block still loads, folded in with a one-time deprecation warning. New wire-format work continues to be staged on the next branch for the subsequent release line.

What works today

  • Spanning-tree construction with greedy coordinate routing.
  • Bloom-filter-guided destination discovery (no flooding, single-path with retry).
  • Two-layer Noise encryption (IK at the link, XK at the session) with periodic hitless rekey for forward secrecy at both layers.
  • Persistent or ephemeral node identity with key-file management.
  • IPv6 TUN adapter with built-in .fips DNS resolver and multi-backend auto-configuration (systemd dns-delegate, systemd-resolved, dnsmasq, NetworkManager).
  • Native datagram API for FIPS-aware applications (npub:port addressing without the IPv6-shim path): off by default, with a surface that may still change.
  • Static hostname mapping (/etc/fips/hosts) with auto-reload.
  • Per-link metrics (RTT, loss, jitter, goodput) and mesh size estimation.
  • ECN congestion signaling (hop-by-hop CE relay, IPv6 CE marking, kernel-drop detection).
  • UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, Nym (mixnet), and BLE transports (BLE via L2CAP CoC with per-link MTU negotiation).
  • Nostr-mediated overlay endpoint discovery and UDP hole punching for NAT traversal, plus mDNS LAN discovery for local peers.
  • LAN gateway (fips-gateway) with both outbound (LAN-to-mesh) and inbound (mesh-to-LAN port-forwarding) modes.
  • Peer ACL: per-npub allow / deny admission control at the link layer; opt-in mesh-firewall baseline at fips0 ingress.
  • Runtime inspection and peer management via fipsctl (including fipsctl probe for reachability diagnosis and fipsctl address for mesh-address derivation) and fipstop.
  • Reproducible builds with toolchain pinning and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
  • Node lifecycle and health reporting (Starting, Running, Degraded, Failed, Draining) with a fatal start when no transport comes up and a bounded shutdown drain window.
  • OpenWrt setup helpers for an 802.11s mesh between routers (fips-mesh-setup) and for the open !FIPS client SSID (fips-ap-setup).
  • Linux (Debian, systemd tarball, OpenWrt .ipk and .apk, AUR), macOS (.pkg), FreeBSD (.pkg, x86_64 only), and Windows (ZIP, service) packaging.
  • Docker-based integration and chaos testing.

Near-term priorities

  • Security audit of the cryptographic protocols.

Longer-term

  • Packaged mobile applications: an Android host app, and iOS. The Android embedding interface ships today (see Building from source); what is absent is a packaged app on either platform.
  • Bandwidth-aware routing and QoS.
  • Protocol stability and a versioned wire format.
  • Published crate.
