The first public release has not been published yet. When it is, it will appear on the Releases page; until then the download commands in this wiki will not work.
Vonode turns a Linux computer with cellular modules into a private node. The Vonode app for iPhone and iPad reads and sends SMS, makes and answers calls, switches eSIM profiles and turns on Wi-Fi calling, all through hardware you run yourself.
This wiki covers installing and running the node software. Release files are on the latest release page; the illustrated guide is at vonode.cc/install.
