Qira Link | Private mesh between your own devices

What Qira Link is

Not a VPN provider. Qira Link is a private tunnel between devices you personally own — the same trust model as QEV, at the network layer. You pair your laptop, phone, and home server in person once (QR code + 30-digit safety number), then any of them can reach the others over encrypted UDP, from anywhere.

How it works

Pair in person

Scan a QR code between two of your devices. Compare a 30-digit safety number out loud. You've just created a permanent trusted link.

Encrypted UDP tunnel

WireGuard wire protocol (same Noise-family primitives QEV uses) carries packets between paired devices. Line-rate, auto-rekey, replay-protected.

Direct when possible

LAN-direct on the same network; hole-punched UDP when not; the QEV relay as last-resort store-and-forward. Relay only ever sees ciphertext.

Kernel TUN, userspace keys

Your private key stays in the OS keystore (macOS Keychain, Android EncryptedSharedPreferences). Packet routing uses WinTun on Windows, utun on macOS, VpnService on Android.

What Qira Link will never do

No exit nodes — you cannot route traffic through somebody else's device to mask your IP.
No third-party bridges — you cannot pair with a stranger.
No account system, no email verification, no web dashboard.
No anonymity against a network-level adversary — this is a trust tool between your own devices, not a cloak.

Built on QEV's trust model

Same pairing flow

Identical QR + safety-number process as QEV device pairing. If you already use QEV, you already know how to set up Qira Link.

Same relay, same guarantee

When direct UDP fails, tunnel traffic routes through the QEV relay. It still sees only ciphertext — no plaintext, no metadata beyond pk-to-pk.

Open source

Every line auditable. No back door. No telemetry. Same license as QEV.

Free forever

No subscription. No tiers. No locked features. The same promise as QEV because Qira Link is the same philosophy at a different layer.

Roadmap

Phase 1 · Core crypto

Rust library implementing the WireGuard wire protocol wrapped with QEV pairing as the sole trust source. Target: 1.5 weeks.

Phase 2 · Desktop TUN

macOS utun, Windows WinTun, Linux /dev/net/tun. Target: 2 weeks.

Phase 3 · Android

VpnService + JNI into the Rust core. Target: 1.5 weeks.

Phase 4 · NAT traversal

STUN + hole punching, QEV relay fallback. Target: 1 week.

Phase 5 · UX polish

Tauri app, tunnel toggle, peer list, connection status. Target: 1 week.

Phase 6 · Ship v0.1.0

Signed DMG, MSI with WinTun, signed APK. Target: roughly 10 weeks from spec (2026-04-17).

Qira Link v0.1.0 will appear on the downloads page when it's ready. No mailing list, no tracking — same as everything else here.
