CryptoMesh VPN help

Get started

Install CryptoMesh VPN on your phone or computer and sign in with the same account on each device.
Turn on your private network in the app. Each signed-in device appears in the console under Machines.
For a PiKVM, router or Linux server, use Add device in the console and run the command it shows.

Install the app on a computer at home, or add a TouchKVM, PiKVM or Linux gateway with Add device.
Share your home network from that gateway, then open your home devices from anywhere.

Open Network, choose one of your own devices and select Send file. On a phone, pick the file in the system picker.
The other device keeps the file in its inbox until you choose Save or Discard. Nothing is saved without you.
Files go only between devices signed in to your account, over the encrypted network. Each file can be up to 4 GB.

In the console, open a machine's menu and choose Share machine, then send the link to one person.
They reach only that device. You can end the share at any time on the Sharing page.

An exit node sends your internet traffic through another device, for example your home computer while you travel.
Offer a computer as an exit node in its Settings, then choose it as the exit on your other devices.

On a Windows or Linux computer, open Network and choose Publish a service, then enter the local address of the app.
Today a service can be published only from a Windows or Linux computer; Mac, iPhone and Android cannot publish yet.
Choose who can open it before you publish. It is never published to your local network.

Public links are off until they are turned on for your account. Check the Features page in the console.
Today a service can be published only from a Windows or Linux computer; Mac, iPhone and Android cannot publish yet.
In the app on the computer, publish the service as Public on the internet. Then create its public link in the console.
Anyone with the address can open it, so protect the app with its own sign-in. Turn the link off in the console at any time; it stops within seconds.

Create an organization in the console, invite people and give each person a role.
The organization's policy decides who can reach which devices. Organizations appear in the console when they are available for your account.

Check that the device is online and signed in to the same account as your other devices.
Open Connection diagnostics in the app's settings and follow what it suggests.
Turn the private network off and on again. If it still fails, contact support with the diagnostics summary.

The device may be asleep, shut down or signed out. Wake it and open the app.
The console shows when each device was last seen. Remove a device you no longer use.

Both devices must be connected and signed in to the same account. Files cannot be sent to tagged devices or other accounts.
Check the receiving device's inbox. If it is out of space, free some space and send the file again.

Make sure the app is running on the computer at the address you published, and that the computer is connected.
For a public link, the service must be published as Public in the app and its link must be on in the console.

Some features are turned on gradually. The Features page in the console lists what is on for your account and why.
Organizations, API access and app connectors appear only when organizations are available.

Include what you tried, and never send passwords or recovery codes.
