Help the network grow

OpenRung relies on volunteers for relay capacity and donors to keep it running.

Become a volunteer

If you're on the open internet, you can run a volunteer relay and give others a path to it. Volunteers run a desktop command-line app. Note: in the current MVP, volunteers act as direct exit nodes, which carries real legal and privacy risk — please review what's involved first.
