Setting up a Custom Supernode

For the privacy of your data sent and to reduce the server load or reliance on supernode.ntop.org, it is also suggested to set up a custom supernode.

You can create your own infrastructure by setting up a supernode on a public server (e.g. a VPS). You just need to open a single port (1234 in the example below) on your firewall (usually iptables).

  1. Install the n3n package
  2. Edit /etc/n3n/supernode.conf and add the following: 
    [connection]
bind=1234
  3. Start the supernode service with sudo systemctl start n3n-supernode
  4. Optionally enable supernode start on boot: sudo systemctl enable n3n-supernode

Now the supernode service should be up and running on port 1234. On your edge nodes you can now specify -l your_supernode_ip:1234 to use it. All the edge nodes must use the same supernode (or be part of the same supernode federation)
