LokiNet
LokiNet is the reference implementation of LLARP (low latency anonymous routing protocol), a layer 3 onion routing protocol.
You can learn more about the high level design of LLARP here
And you can read the LLARP protocol specification here
Usage
see the documentation on how to get started using Lokinet.
Building
Build requirements:
- GNU Make
- CMake
- C++ 17 capable C++ compiler
- rapidjson (if enabling jsonrpc server)
Linux
build:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libcap-dev curl rapidjson-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ make -j8
install:
$ sudo make install
FreeBSD
build:
$ pkg install wget cmake git
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ gmake -j8
install (root):
# gmake install
Windows
build (where $ARCH is your platform - i686 or x86_64):
$ pacman -Sy base-devel mingw-w64-$ARCH-toolchain git libtool autoconf mingw-w64-$ARCH-cmake curl
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network.git
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir -p build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug|Release] -DSTATIC_LINK=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DDNS_PORT=53 -G 'Unix Makefiles'
install (elevated) to $PROGRAMFILES/lokinet or $ProgramFiles(x86)/lokinet:
$ make install
if cross-compiling, install mingw-w64 from your distro's package manager, or build from source, then:
$ mkdir -p build; cd build
$ export COMPILER=clang # if using clang for windows
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug|Release] -DSTATIC_LINK=ON -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=ON -DDNS_PORT=53 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../contrib/cross/mingw[32].cmake
this will create a static binary that can be installed anywhere, with no other dependency other than libc (minimum v6.1)
Running on Linux/UNIX/BSD
DO NOT RUN AS ROOT, run as normal user.
to run as client:
$ lokinet -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ lokinet
to run as relay:
$ lokinet -r -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ lokinet
Running on Windows
DO NOT RUN AS ELEVATED USER, run as normal user.
to run as client:
C:\>lokinet -g && lokinet-bootstrap && lokinet
to run as relay (highly experimental, currently unsupported!):
C:\>lokinet -r -g && lokinet-bootstrap && lokinet
