- Deployment mode, interfaces, upstream router constraints, and recovery access.
- Hardware fit for primary, embedded, portable, or appliance-style deployment.
- DNS, routing, fallback, privacy posture, and evidence expectations.
- Safe-mode recovery needs for DNS, routing, firewall, and admin lockout.
Install readiness
Request an early install readiness review.
The Gateway is preparing the public open-core install path. Use this review to map hardware, route and DNS ownership, recovery access, privacy posture, and fallback expectations before relying on a gateway.
- Choose deployment mode and map interfaces.
- Bootstrap daemon and local UI.
- Create device group, DNS policy, route profile, and fallback behavior.
- Validate connectivity, DNS trace, route trace, fallback state, and leak checks.
- The repository install guide will become the self-service path after fresh-machine verification.
- Until then, early installs should document backup, rollback, ownership, and support bundle expectations.
Before you request review
Make route ownership, DNS ownership, fallback policy, and recovery proof explicit.
- Name the current route owner, DNS owner, fallback owner, and final apply approver.
- State whether the review is advisory only or preparing for a bounded live install window.
- Document the current route, DNS, fallback, and policy state before the first install attempt.
- Confirm console, SSH, or local recovery access before changing DNS, routes, firewall state, or remote access.
- Keep a known-good rollback target or timestamp for policy, resolver, and transport state.
- Stop the install window if recovery access or rollback proof is missing.
- Describe the intended privacy posture and what evidence will verify it after install.
- Make fallback behavior visible instead of assuming tunnel or bridge safety.
- Review support and export boundaries before sharing diagnostics or granting remote access.
Cross-check the privacy posture checklist, rollback and recovery guide, support boundaries, and trust and security model before requesting early install review.
