Pear, Keet, WireGuard, and the keys on your side

About this book Available now

Sovereign Communications is a field guide to messages, files, and calls that stay between the people in them.

A platform that holds the keys can read the message. A subpoena, a policy change, or a breach can open a lifetime of private thought. This book is the stack you run yourself.

Pear Runtime builds serverless applications in JavaScript for desktop, mobile, and the terminal. Hypercore is the append-only log. Hyperswarm handles discovery and holepunching. Hyperdrive is the filesystem. Keet is peer-to-peer chat, voice, and video. Pear Pass stores passwords without a cloud sync server. WireGuard is the tunnel. Headscale is the self-hosted mesh. ObscuraVPN is the no-logs tunnel you can check. Tunnelsats pays for connectivity over Lightning.
