Everything you need to get started with Lattix Network.
Three simple steps to create your first secure network connection.
Download and install the Lattix Network client for your platform.
Use a 16-character network ID to join an existing network, or create one via the web panel.
Ping any peer on the network to verify your encrypted P2P connection is active.

Quick solutions to the most common problems.
Make sure both devices have joined the same network and are authorized. Run lattix status to check your connection state. If you're behind a strict corporate firewall, traffic will automatically route through relay servers — no action needed.
Run lattix peers to check your connection type. "Direct" connections are fastest. If you see "Relay", your firewall may be blocking UDP. Try allowing outbound UDP on port 9993. You can also check RTT (round-trip time) in the peers output.
A red icon means the Lattix daemon is not running. On Windows, open Services and start "CMNet Daemon". On macOS/Linux, run sudo systemctl start cmnet-daemon. The icon turns green when connected.
Run lattix leave <network-id> or right-click the system tray icon and select the network to leave. Your IP address will be released and you'll be disconnected from all peers on that network.
Yes! Install Lattix on each device and join the same network. Each device gets a unique IP address and can communicate directly with all other devices on the network. The free plan supports up to 5 devices.
Key concepts behind the Lattix Network architecture.
A 16-character hexadecimal identifier that uniquely identifies each virtual network. Networks are isolated from each other and require membership to access.
A 40-bit unique identifier derived from your Ed25519 public key. This address is globally unique and serves as your identity on every network you join.
Cryptographic proof of network membership signed by the network controller. Certificates have an expiry time and are automatically renewed while the node remains authorized.
Automatic STUN discovery and UDP hole punching establish direct peer connections through firewalls. When direct paths fail, traffic is routed through encrypted relay servers.
The controller manages network membership, configuration, and certificate issuance. Actual data traffic flows directly peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption, never through the controller.
Manage your Lattix connection without touching the command line.
Green = connected, yellow = connecting, red = disconnected. The tray icon shows your network status at a glance.
Right-click the tray icon, select "Join Network", and enter the network ID you received from your admin. You'll be connected in seconds.
See all connected devices, their IP addresses, latency, and connection type (direct P2P or relay) from the tray menu.
Lattix starts automatically with your computer and reconnects to your networks. No need to manually launch anything after installation.
