Enhanced Search Experience A modern DuckDuckGo-style search interface with clean titles, readable snippets, and structured metadata — all rendered locally inside QNET for a smoother, private experience.
/go Secure Redirect Gateway Safely explore external or IPFS links without ever leaving QNET. Each redirect includes confirmation, a visible destination preview, and a quick “Return Home” option to keep you fully inside your decentralized space.
QNET is a self-contained, privacy-first micro network that transforms your device into a decentralized web portal — capable of operating offline, through I2P/TOR/IPFS, or globally via Cloudflare Tunnel or Ngrok.
It’s lightweight, fast, and designed to run anywhere — from Linux and Android (Termux) to macOS or Windows.
Modern web platforms rely on centralized data centers and third-party APIs.
QNET removes that dependency, letting anyone host their own mini web node, private when desired, global when chosen.
It combines edge computing, local-first design, and network autonomy in a single package.
-
Hybrid Network Modes
- Offline, I2P, TOR, or IPFS auto-detection.
- Global access via Cloudflare or Ngrok tunnels.
-
Secure File System
- Upload, share, and stream files (videos, posts, leaks).
- Each item is hashed and optionally mirrored to IPFS.
-
Built-in Security Levels
- 🟢 Standard: Global tunnels active
- 🟡 Safer: Encrypted peers only
- 🔴 Safest: Fully offline, no external tunnels
-
Web Dashboard
- Terminal-inspired green-on-black interface.
- Fully responsive and local-first.
-
Cross-Platform Support
- Runs seamlessly on Android (Termux), Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.
⚠️ Note: IPFS mirror requires a running IPFS daemon (ipfs daemon) to access content locally.
- No external tracking or analytics.
- Optional offline mode ensures complete privacy.
- Security levels let you choose between fully offline or global accessibility.
- Data files are hashed and stored locally; optional mirroring to IPFS does not expose your identity.
QNET 1.0 is cross-platform and runs on Linux, Android (Termux), macOS, and Windows (via WSL or Git Bash).
Before running QNET, make sure you have:
- Python 3.10+
- pip (Python package manager)
- IPFS
- curl
- wget
QNET includes an automatic environment setup script that installs all dependencies for you.
bash setup.sh
- Run qnet.py (online/offline)
python qnet.py
- Ensure your IPFS daemon is running for local content:
ipfs daemon
- Open your preferred mirror
Local: http://127.0.0.1:8080
IPFS: http://127.0.0.1:8081/ipfs/QmSk6tx2phgMny2guUoSgYdBXgMuWCPXT3ppJY8NYGqiLZ
Cloudflare/Ngrok tunnel (auto-generated)
-
Upload files (videos, posts, leaks) via the dashboard.
-
Upload & Manage Content
Upload files under Videos, Posts, or Leaks.
Share IPFS or Cloudflare links directly.
- Adjust Security Level
Use Settings → Security Level to switch between Standard, Safer, or Safest.
