CE MESH / EST. 1871 / LINE OPEN

Lay your own line.

Lay your
own line.

In 1871 a Danish company ran a telegraph line from the Nordics to Shanghai. Our machines in East Asia and northern Sweden now talk directly: 275 ms, no relay.

One private network for your computers and AI agents: direct encrypted links, and a signed right for each agent.

CE MESH / HOW IT WORKS

Five steps,
one evening.

Most people have three or four computers that should be one network: a laptop, a desktop at home, a server, a machine in the workshop. ce mesh joins them, then lets your AI agents in with exactly the rights you write down.

  1. 01

    Install

    One download for macOS or Linux. It runs as a small background service and starts with the machine.

    desktop, umeåtty
    $ ce join

  2. 02

    Join

    Type the six-digit code from a machine that is already in. The new one gets its keys and appears in your device list within seconds.

    Link

    Machines find each other and connect directly, through home routers and office firewalls. When no direct path exists, traffic goes through a relay and stays encrypted end to end.

    Grant

    Give an agent a right: which machines, which operations, for how long. You sign it; the agent carries it. Nothing else is open.

    Revoke

    One tap ends a right or removes a device. Every machine stops honouring it on its next check, usually within a second.

Every line
was laid.

The telegraph companies paid out cable from ships to reach the far side of the world. Your line goes between your own machines, direct, and only the rights you write travel on it.

    Fair
    questions.

    How is this different from a VPN?

    A VPN sends everything through one server. ce mesh links your machines to each other directly, so a file between two of your computers takes the short way, and nothing in the middle can read it.

    Why do agents need their own rights?

    An AI agent with your password can do everything you can. With ce mesh it carries a signed right that names the machines, the operations and the end date. Ask for anything else and it is refused, and you see the refusal.

    What runs where?

    The client runs on macOS and Linux today; Windows and phones are next. The directory that tells your machines about each other runs on three servers at once, so one of them going down changes nothing.

    Can I run it on my own servers?

    Yes. The same software runs on machines you own, with no account with us at all, and that is free.

    What does the relay see?

    Only encrypted packets and which two of your devices they are for. It cannot read them, and it is used only when two machines cannot reach each other directly.
