Free Version
You can install your own free version of GoodIP. You need some hardware (old PC, Raspberry PI, unlocked router...) in replacement of the GoodIP dongle.
GoodIP is NOT a ssh server. GoodIP Network has its own system, own its own network protocol and communication. This is why it's totally undetectable.
In replacement of the dongle, you need your own hardware turned on 24/7. The GoodIP Dongle is sold at a very reasonable price and it brings you the ease of use and setup.
1. Download server side
Download the server binaries at https://goodip.network/server/ for the OS of your own hardware (link opens in a new window).

We won't spam you! 100% promised. We hate spam too. We ask for your email in order to notify you if security or maintenance problems require your attention. Please provide a valid email address. We will NOT share it with any third-party.
