SNARKYPUSS

A private bridge to your VPN.

The Snarkypuss mascot: a tuxedo cat in a black hoodie with a red maple leaf.

Snarkypuss is privately hosted, open-source software for building and controlling your own bridge to a commercial VPN service. Your computer connects through a private WireGuard tunnel to a small hosted server you control, and the commercial VPN runs there instead of on your machine.

There is no Snarkypuss company, subscription, or central network carrying anyone's traffic. Each installation belongs to its user.

Read the brochure

A 16-page introduction: what Snarkypuss is, why it exists, what it does not claim to do, and how it is put together. Written for readers deciding whether it is worth doing, rather than for whoever will install it.
