One binary turns your machines — laptop, server, cloud, or a Pi — into a secure private network you and your AI agents can reach, run commands on, and search from anywhere. No accounts, no servers, and no company in the middle. Just install, invite, connect.
$ curl -fsSL https://hop.keikai.ai/install.sh | bash
No accounts. No third party. No one in the middle. Your machines connect directly and privately — by design.
One binary. No accounts. No company in the middle — for you and the agents you run.
Your machines connect directly and privately, end-to-end encrypted. Unlike Tailscale, there's no coordination server to phone home to, no account, no third party in your trust path. Your keys stay on your machines.
One small download, no dependencies, no config. Punches through any NAT automatically, home, cloud, or a Raspberry Pi. Install, invite, connect — in under a minute.
Add one skill and your AI tools can reach, run commands on, and search across every machine — inside the limits you set. No integration to build, and nothing central to breach.
Also built in: encrypted file transfer, sessions that survive disconnects, secrets, and scheduled automation — with deeper tooling for fleet management, AI orchestration, and session audit (tap).
No accounts, no port forwarding, no third-party routing.
Up and running in under a minute. No accounts, no servers, no VPN config.
Run one command on the machine you want to reach. It installs hop and prints a one-time invite.
Share the invite, or use it yourself. It's single-use and time-limited, and its role decides exactly what the new member can reach.
Redeem it from your laptop with hop connect and you're in a secure shell. After that, it's just hop <name>.
Agents can reason and call tools, but they still can't safely reach the machines you actually run. Add the hop skill and yours can — immediately, with no integration to build.
Give your AI tool the hop skill and it can reach every machine on your network, run a command across all of them at once, and search their logs together — in plain language, inside the limits you set. It works today, over the same install, invite, connect you just saw. Nothing to wire up.
Hop also gives you a peer-to-peer private network. Setting up a VPN should be as easy as SSH or scp, so it is.
Invite a machine and it answers by name (myserver.hop) on a private address only your machines can reach, from anywhere. No port-forwarding, no VPN appliance, no coordination server in someone else's cloud. The tools you already use — SSH, scp, VNC — just work.
You can also bridge devices that can't run hop (a printer, a NAS, a whole home or office LAN) through one machine that's on it, or forward a remote port to your laptop like ssh -L. See the docs →
One command to download, verify, and install.
$ curl -fsSL https://hop.keikai.ai/install.sh | bash
Client: reach hosts you're invited to, no sudo, no daemon, no VPN. Upgrade to the warren VPN anytime with hop connect <invite>.
