Works pretty much everywhere, including on public WiFi where only TCP/443 is open or reliable.\n* Uses only modern cryptography, with formally verified implementations.\n* Small and constant memory footprint. Doesn\u0027t perform any heap memory allocations.\n* Small (~25 KB), with an equally small and readable code base. No external dependencies.\n* Works out of the box. No lousy documentation to read. No configuration file. No post-configuration. Run a single-line command on the server, a similar one on the client and you\u0027re done. No firewall and routing rules to manually mess with.\n* Works on Linux (kernel \u003e= 3.17), macOS and OpenBSD, as well as DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD in client and point-to-point modes. Adding support for other operating systems is trivial.\n* Doesn\u0027t leak between reconnects if the network doesn\u0027t change. Blocks IPv6 on the client to prevent IPv6 leaks.\n\n## Installation\n\n```sh\nmake\n```\n\nOn Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, use the following command instead to enable NEON optimizations:\n\n```sh\nenv OPTFLAGS=-mfpu=neon make\n```\n\nAlternatively, if you have [zig](https://ziglang.org) installed, it can be used to compile DSVPN:\n\n```sh\nzig build -Drelease\n```\n\nOn macOS, DSVPN can be installed using Homebrew: `brew install dsvpn`.\n\n## Secret key\n\nDSVPN uses a shared secret. Create it with the following command:\n\n```sh\ndd if=/dev/urandom of=vpn.key count=1 bs=32\n```\n\nAnd copy it on the server and the client.\n\nIf required, keys can be exported and imported in printable form:\n\n```sh",
