It sits alongside your existing home or small-office router and acts as the warden of every device's connection to the internet — encrypting traffic through per-device VPN tunnels, blocking ads and trackers at the DNS level, and giving you full control from a local web dashboard.\n\n**Think of it as a Pi-hole replacement with per-device VPN routing built in.** Network-wide ad and tracker blocking (you can bring your existing Pi-hole blocklists) plus WireGuard tunnels you can assign to individual devices — in one signed binary, one dashboard, no cloud.\n\nDevices that can't run VPN software themselves — smart TVs, consoles, IoT — get the same protection at the gateway level. One host, one binary, no cloud account, no third-party dashboard.\n\nLearn more at [**wardnet.network**](https://wardnet.network).\n\n## What Wardnet does\n\n- **Per-device VPN routing.** Send the kids' TV through one tunnel, your laptop through another, and the printer direct — or through the default. Policies apply instantly via `ip rule` + nftables.\n- **Network-wide ad and tracker blocking.** DNS-level filtering with cron-refreshed blocklists (StevenBlack, OISD, AdGuard, or bring your own), allowlists for exceptions, and custom filter rules. Applies to every device on the LAN regardless of routing.\n- **Built-in DHCP server.** Lease management, static MAC-to-IP reservations, conflict detection, audit trail. Disable your existing DHCP source when you're ready — not before.\n- **Automatic device discovery.** ARP scanning plus IEEE OUI vendor lookup (~39k entries embedded in the binary) identifies new devices as they join. Randomised-MAC detection flags modern phones.\n- **WireGuard tunnels on demand.** Add tunnels from a `.conf` file or provision through a provider (NordVPN integration ships today — more to follow). Interfaces come up when needed and tear down after an idle timeout.\n- **Admin + self-service model.** Admins manage shared devices and set locks; end-users change their own routing policy from an unauthenticated self-service page identified by source IP.\n- **Local web dashboard.** Manage everything from one UI. No cloud account, no relay, nothing leaves the LAN.\n- **Single signed binary.** The web UI is embedded into `wardnetd`. Every release is signed with [minisign](https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/) so you can verify what's running on your gateway.\n\n## Install\n\n### Run with Docker\n\n```sh\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name wardnetd \\\n  --cap-add NET_ADMIN --cap-add NET_RAW \\\n  --device /dev/net/tun \\\n  --sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 \\\n  --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock \\\n  -p 7411:7411 \\\n  -v wardnet-data:/var/lib/wardnet \\\n  ghcr.io/wardnet/wardnetd:latest\n```\n\nOpen **http://localhost:7411** to complete the setup wizard. Auto-update and crash-loop rollback work inside the container because systemd runs as PID 1, but recreating the container resets to the image's baked-in version — only `docker restart` preserves an auto-updated binary. See [`source/daemon/examples/docker-compose.yaml`](source/daemon/examples/docker-compose.yaml) for a reference compose file with all networking options documented.\n\n### Bare-metal install\n\nFor setups where you prefer to run the daemon directly on the host:\n\n```sh\ncurl -sSL https://wardnet.network/install.sh | sudo bash\n```\n\nSupported targets: `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` (Raspberry Pi, aarch64 SBCs) and `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` (mini-PCs, x86_64 servers).\n\n---\n\nFull walkthrough, configuration reference, and guides in the [**user documentation**](https://wardnet.network/docs). See the [latest release](https://github.com/wardnet/wardnet/releases/latest) for signed artefacts and verification instructions.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [**User documentation**](https://wardnet.network/docs) — installation, configuration, setup walkthrough, guides\n- [**Development guide**](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) — build, run locally, deploy, contribute\n- [**Security policy \u0026 release signing**](SECURITY.md) — reporting vulnerabilities, verifying releases\n- [**Release notes**](docs/releases/) — per-version changelogs\n- [**Marketing site**](https://wardnet.network) — setup walkthrough, screenshots, docs\n\n## Project status\n\nWardnet is in active development.
