about

description

fips2go runs a FIPS mesh node on your phone and hands it to the apps you pick, over a per-app VPN tunnel. Selected apps reach the mesh **and** keep normal internet; every other app on the device is untouched. - **Per-app split tunnel.** You choose which apps join the mesh. They get the mesh and clearnet at once; nothing else on the phone is affected. With no apps selected the tunnel does nothing. - **`.fips` names just resolve.** DNS for covered apps is answered in-process for `.fips`, and forwarded to your normal resolvers for everything else. - **Mesh names.** An address book maps readable names to nodes — `home.fips` instead of an npub — for every covered app, and can be synced from a node you run. - **Public domain names over fips.** A site bound to a mesh node (fips-pub-domains) is reached by its ordinary name, verified with DNSSEC and pinned; already verified domains, and those with a signed claim on a mesh relay, keep resolving with no internet at all. Everything else resolves as before. - **Default-deny inbound firewall.** Other mesh nodes cannot reach ports your apps listen on. Only replies to connections you opened, ICMPv6, and an explicit port allowlist get through. - **Identity sealed by the Android Keystore**, with backup and restore so it survives a reinstall. - **Three links into the mesh, not one**, plus optional peer discovery via Nostr and your own choice of relays. - **FIPS Hotspot.** Auto-joins open Wi-Fi named `!FIPS` to reach nearby peers, while your internet stays on your normal network. - **LAN discovery (mDNS).** Finds peers on your Wi-Fi and dials them directly, with no relay hop. - **Survives network changes.** A Wi-Fi to cellular hand-over keeps every session and route; peers are re-pinned within a second, no reconnect. - **Diagnostics.** Resolve or ping an npub, inspect live peer sessions, and read the node log. - **In-app updates**, verified against the release checksum. Dark theme by default. Open source (MIT), no accounts, no telemetry. Requires Android 8.0 or later.
