Mysterium Network Nodes - Enabling Service Providershttps://t.me/mysterium_network_nodesWe are testing
3rd party Mysterium VPN nodes on TestNet! This is a significant step for Mysterium Network towards a decentralized, peer to peer based and server-less node network.
Users will be able to run Mysterium VPN nodes on any OS with Docker. As an alternative users will be able to setup VPN node using .deb packages on Debian or Ubuntu. Currently node supports OpenVPN as its underlying VPN transport.
Installation Guide:https://github.com/MysteriumNetwork/node/blob/master/INSTALL.mdFAQ on How to Install & Operate a Mysterium Node:https://github.com/MysteriumNetwork/node/wiki/Node-operationYou will need to have a static IP address for nodes. A domain is not needed as we don’t detect and use it in proposals.
- I have launched my node with docker. Please tell what’s next?
Soon we will be whitelisting pre alpha node testers to our discovery service, stand by. If you are getting 403 it may mean you are not whitelisted yet - send PM with your IP and OS to our Project Manager Andrius @Zygman
- How can I check that it works?
After node IP gets whitelisted, you should get something like this:
[Mysterium.api] Proposal registered for node: 0x561eddc8c00f42541f50f0d0275f7e34bd92c057
The node (and identity) should be visible in
https://testnet.mysterium.network/You will be able to test tunnel by installing mysterium-client package and use --cli for command like client.
For node to operate you need public IP. At this Alpha testing phase we only support nodes operating in hosting servers (on external IPs only).
- Do I need to open some ports in my router?
Yes, if node will be at home then you will need to forward required ports. You need to open at least 1194 (default OpenVpn) port.
You will need to setup forward rule into your local IP address where node runs.
The first node host countries will include: USA, China, Russia, Finland, Czech Republic, Romania, and Spain among others. We would like to thank everyone for participating. This is an open group so feel free to invite your friends to join us and host their own nodes as well.
