Developed in Schleswig-Holstein · before market entry

Your own network. No cloud. No open doors.

VluxNet turns the devices of a household or office into their own encrypted network. Data goes straight from device to device, stays with the owner, and is reachable only by those you grant access to — at home, on the road and without the internet.

Partners & pilot customers What VluxNet is

Running in the daily life of several test households · a small computer at home, a Windows program, an Android app · an independent security audit is firmly planned before market entry.

The principle

A counter, not an open warehouse

Most home and office networks work like an open warehouse: anyone on the network can look into shared folders, search them, copy them. A single compromised device — a camera, an old TV, an infected laptop — and everything lies exposed.

VluxNet turns this around. Nothing is reachable until it is deliberately shared. Every device has its own key, belongs to a person, and receives only what has been shared with exactly that person on exactly that device. A compromised device finds no warehouse — only a counter that hands it nothing it wasn’t already allowed to have.

Least privilege with default-deny — the same principle that high-security operating systems are built on, in a form a household or a small office can actually use.

Why now

Four developments are converging

Together they make exactly this architecture relevant — now, not someday.

AI makes attacks cheap

Attacks increasingly run automatically against everyone, not just worthwhile targets. A network without open doors turns from a luxury into basic protection.

Data sovereignty

Families, practices, law firms, associations and public offices increasingly ask why their most private data has to sit in someone else’s data centre. The alternatives so far are either too technical or too centralised.

Cyber Resilience Act

From December 2027, digital products in the EU must be demonstrably built secure. Whoever brings security from the ground up has a structural head start.

Less detour through data centres

Data travels directly between devices instead of being replicated many times over through data centres. Distributed, long-lived mini-infrastructure eases the growth.

Platform

More than a private cloud

VluxNet is first an access principle and its own transport protocol. On top of it, applications for very different areas of life and work can be built.

Peer-to-peer, not cloud

A small server of your own at home instead of someone else’s data centre. The provider only relays; content never sits with them.

Zero trust by default

Default-deny and least privilege instead of open shared folders.

Its own transport protocol

Several lanes in parallel, resuming at the point of interruption. The basis for multipath and line bundling.

Works offline

A hotspot between two devices is enough: exchange without the internet, without a cell tower, without a server.

Device identity, not an account

Every device has its own key and belongs to a person. Trust is exchanged in person, not through a directory.

Ready for AI agents

Rights per device, time-limited and logged. An assistant gets exactly what it needs — no more.

In use

What it’s built for

The same basic idea carries very different situations — here as the finished solution in everyday use.

Law firm & clients

The files stay in your own office. Clients get their own access or a link with a password and an expiry date. IT administration need not be able to see into every client folder.

Practice & care

A wound photo from the work phone lands encrypted and time-stamped straight in the lead’s inbox — instead of through a private messenger. With no network it is delivered later.

Offices working together

Two offices, one shared folder, current on both sides. No USB stick, no cloud link, no question who else is reading along.

Family across households

The photos from all phones back up automatically to the computer at home. The grandparents get exactly the folder with the grandchildren’s photos, nothing else.

Status

Not a concept — it runs

VluxNet is in everyday use in several test households, accompanied by supporters from a mentoring network who use it themselves. In use: a service on a small computer at home, a Windows program and an Android app — for files, photos, music, backups, chat and remote control. The Apple version follows.

Stated openly and honestly

An independent security audit is still outstanding and is firmly planned before market entry. VluxNet promises no invulnerability. It takes the open doors away from attacks, contains the damage, and makes it traceable what happened.

Ways to deploy it

One principle, many paths

VluxNet is not tied to a single form. The same principle carries everything from the finished product to a building block inside someone else’s hardware and software — and many of these paths we reach best together with partners and manufacturers. Everyone finds their own way in here.

As a finished solution

A small server, a PC program and an app for households, practices, law firms and offices — the way it runs today.

runs today

In the router, switch or NAS

Manufacturers build the principle into their devices: every device in its own zone, access from outside without open ports.

The VTP chassis on its own

The transport protocol as a building block for other software — professional applications in medicine, law and media, backup solutions, file exchange between sites.

Bundling lines

On the local network it already works today: two devices transmit at the same time over several LAN cables and WLAN, even at different speeds. Planned: the same across several internet connections — DSL, mobile, satellite — for reporter vehicles, event technology, rural areas and multi-site businesses.

Crisis and field operations

Exchange situation pictures and photos over a hotspot when mobile and internet fail — for fire services, aid organisations and disaster response.

Smart home and industry

Networked devices with their own identity, allowed only where they are meant to go.

AI assistants and telephony

Limited, time-limited access for assistants; calls only among people with a device credential.

How it’s made

Human design, rigorously checked

VluxNet is a joint work of human design and AI implementation. The architecture, the protocol and the counter principle come from human engineering; modern AI tools implement them to these specifications and check against the state of the art.

This is how a single constructor builds a platform of this breadth with modern tools — and checks it rigorously and traceably at the same time.

Every error becomes a rule.A found error produces a rule that prevents the whole class of errors.

A delivery note per version.Every version of every part is backed by checksums and can be rolled back.

Thousands of automatic tests.At every step, plus counter-tests that must find deliberately planted errors.
