Ghost Connector
Deploy once, connect forever. Push the connector via Group Policy, MDM, or any automation tool — with a Helbind Key, the device joins your network automatically. The user doesn't do anything. Total admin control.
Install with one command (macOS / Linux):
curl -fsSL https://gh-o.net/d/connector/install.sh | sudo bash
Windows (PowerShell as Administrator):
irm https://gh-o.net/d/connector/install.ps1 | iex
Auto-detects your OS and architecture.
Zero-Touch Deployment
Generate a Helbind Key, embed it in your deployment script, and push to any number of machines. Each device installs the connector, joins your network, and connects to the right hub — automatically. No user interaction required. Works with Windows Group Policy, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, MDM profiles, or a simple startup script.
Example: one-line silent deploy
curl -fsSL https://gh-o.net/d/connector/install.sh | sudo bash && sudo ghost_connector setup --cert /opt/keys/helbind.json
That's it. The device is now part of your private network. The admin stays in full control — assign hubs, set roles, revoke access, or turn it into an exit node, all remotely from the dashboard.

Quick Start
Connect with Helbind Key (Recommended)
# Fully automated — no user interaction needed
sudo ghost_connector setup --cert /path/to/helbind-key.jsonThe connector installs itself as a system service, joins the pre-defined hub, and stays connected forever. Perfect for automation — push via Group Policy, Ansible, or any deployment tool.

Always-On Tunnel
Runs as a background service (systemd / launchd / Windows Service). Keeps your encrypted tunnel alive and reconnects automatically if interrupted.
Auto-Sync
Automatically picks up network changes — new devices, removed peers, hub updates — without manual intervention.
Exit Node Capable
Any connector device can serve as an exit node. Route traffic from other devices through it — controlled remotely by the admin from the dashboard or CLI.
Cross-Platform
Same binary, same commands — works on Windows, macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), and Linux (x64 + ARM64). Signed and notarized on macOS, code-signed on Windows.
Use Cases
Servers & VMs
Connect cloud servers, VPS instances, or on-prem machines. Use Helbind Keys for zero-touch provisioning in autoscaling fleets.
IoT & Edge
Raspberry Pi, ARM boards, edge gateways. Install once and it stays connected — perfect for remote devices you can't touch.
Desktops & Workstations
Keep your Windows, Mac, or Linux workstation always connected to your private network — no app needed, just a lightweight background service.
