Finishing Up

Get Some Peers

In NX3, there is no distinction between peering and transit. In most cases, everybody serves as an upstream provider to all of their peers. If you have very slow connectivity to the internet, you may want to avoid providing transit between peers. For the sake of sane routing, please attempt to peer with people on the same continent to avoid inefficient routing. You can also look into Bird communities if you are using Bird.

Establish Connectivity

Establish Tunnels

Unless your peers are directly on the same network, you must establish tunnels. Choose anything you like: WireGuard, OpenVPN, GRE, GRE + IPSec, etc.

You may wish to check out the documentation for WireGuard for a quick start.

Run a Routing Daemon

You'll need a routing daemon that speaks BGP with your peers. The network often runs Bird or FRR, but you may use anything.

You can find documentation on setting up Bird here.

Use Provided Services

DNS

If you wish to use DNS, you can use the recursive resolver hosted @ 172.24.0.53. This is currently the only resolver instance being hosted.

Internal Git

If you wish to use an NX3 only git service, you may access it @ https://git.info.nx3
