Privacy infrastructure run by the people who use it.
Erebrus is a decentralized privacy network that gives individuals, families and small teams a private VPN, a DNS firewall, device-to-device file transfer and on-device AI under one account.
What Erebrus does
One account covers four privacy tools and the workspace that ties them together.
Erebrus VPN
A WireGuard connection through public nodes run by independent operators, or through private nodes your workspace hosts. Connection keys are generated on your device, so a node carries your sealed traffic without ever holding your private key.
Learn more →Erebrus Firewall: Shield and Sentinel
Shield applies allow lists, block lists and category policies at the DNS layer for people, families and teams. Sentinel adds network policy enforcement for business deployments that need stronger control.
Learn more →Erebrus Drop
Drop sends files directly between devices on the same WiFi or hotspot, so there is no upload and no copy left on a server. Optional IPFS storage links are there only when you choose them.
Learn more →Erebrus Private AI
Run open models on your own computer, a server, or a workspace you trust. Prompts and answers stay on that hardware instead of training someone else's model.
Learn more →Workspaces for teams
Every account starts with a free workspace. Invite members, host private nodes, and give employees and contractors a private way into company tools, then revoke access when the work ends.

Most people weighing Erebrus also look at Tailscale, Headscale, NetBird, ZeroTier, Outline and Algo VPN. Here is where it differs.
- 01
Public nodes and your own private nodes in one account
Tailscale, NetBird and ZeroTier connect devices you already own; browsing privately means running your own exit node or paying for an add-on such as Tailscale's Mullvad exit nodes. Erebrus gives you public nodes run by independent operators around the world alongside private nodes you host, from the same account.
- 02
Self-hosting without running a server project
Headscale, Algo and Outline let you self-host, but you also deploy, patch and back up the server and hand out its access keys yourself. With Erebrus you enroll your own hardware as a private node and manage members, devices and access from your workspace.
- 03
Sign in with a wallet, not only an identity provider
Tailscale and NetBird sign you in through identity providers such as Google, Microsoft or GitHub. Erebrus also accepts a crypto wallet or an email code, so you can run a private network without linking it to a Big Tech account.
- 04
A DNS firewall built into the tunnel
Tailscale leaves DNS filtering to an integration with a service such as NextDNS, and Outline and ZeroTier have no built-in DNS filtering. Erebrus Shield blocks trackers and malicious domains on the node your traffic already passes through.
- 05
Private file transfer and AI under the same account
Tailscale's Taildrop sends files between your own devices, but none of these tools host private AI for you. Erebrus adds Drop for device-to-device transfer and Private AI for running models on trusted hardware, with one sign-in.
Who uses Erebrus
- Digital nomads and remote workers on airport, hotel and coworking WiFi
- Families who want trackers blocked across phones, tablets and laptops
- Small businesses and teams giving employees and contractors private access to company tools
- Developers and homelab builders who want to self-host a private node
- Node operators who contribute hardware to a community-run network
- Privacy-minded people who would rather sign in with a wallet than an email address
The team behind Erebrus
Erebrus is built by NetSepio, a DePIN cybersecurity company founded in 2024 to make the internet private, secure and run by its users. Shachindra and Anish founded Erebrus in 2026 to bring that network to everyday people and small teams.
The core team is small, between two and ten people, and builds in the open on GitHub. Follow along on X and LinkedIn.
How Erebrus works
Onboarding
Sign in with a wallet, an email code, Google or Apple. A free Basic workspace is created at first sign-in, so you can connect before you pay for anything.
Connecting
Pick a node in the web app or the Android app (iOS is in TestFlight beta). Download a WireGuard config or scan its QR code to use any standard WireGuard client.
Support
Ask in our Telegram or Discord community, or email support@netsepio.com. Replies within 24 hours on business days.
Business pilots
Teams start with a focused pilot: one gateway, baseline firewall policies, member onboarding and an access-revocation test, followed by a deployment review.
Billing
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually, and you can manage or cancel them from your workspace billing page. There is no commitment beyond the billing period you choose.
Running a node
Operators enroll compatible hardware, choose how it is shared, and monitor it from their Erebrus workspace. The operator guide covers setup.
