Getting started

Ankayma puts your machines on a private mesh where they reach each other directly — no VPN, no public ports — and you can prove the vendor was never in the middle. No credit card: signing in creates your own free F0 space.

Download Ankayma — it's free macOS · Windows · Linux · iOS
