Supported Platforms
Currently Lokinet is in development to support Windows, macOS, Android and various Linux distributions. Additionally Lokinet has been ported for use as an access point and in embedded devices for which there is support for OpenWrt. Lokinet provides support to both x86_64, 32/64 bit ARM and has been successfully compiled in both glibc and musl which has resulted in the ability to offer a wide range of support. Release beta builds are offered for Windows, macOS, Android, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora 34, OpenSUSE, CentOS and Raspberry Pi OS.

Lokinet User Interface
Lokinet runs a daemon which is controlled by system services. It is intended to be enabled thus starting and running in the background. Lokinet is efficient and when idle uses very little system resources to remain in this state thus ready to be used when called upon. To start or stop Lokinet daemon; which typically there is no requirement, commands are sent to halt or restart it's daemon service. lokinet and lokinet-vpn also have command line options that can be used to control it's behavior. The most common use of these commands is to control lokinets connection to exits via the lokinet-vpn application. A list of these various applications and their associated Lokinet commands are provided below. In addition to command line interface lokinet and lokinet-vpn are often associated with various graphical user interface controls (GUI) which differ dependent on the platform. The most common of these interfaces is Lokinet-Control-Panel of which operation is demonstrated here.

Warning: The creation of a username associated to the time you are connecting and your browser fingerprint can build a behavior usage profile that may in future help to identify your lokinet usage.
When typing .loki addresses in the url bar of some browsers, it may send <whatever>.loki to your default search engine if you do not start with http:// or end with a trailing slash. If you use Firefox (or a fork e.g. librewolf), visit "about:config" in the url bar, and create a new entry called "browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.loki" with boolean value "true". This treats .loki as a normal domain suffix and avoids having to type http:// or a trailing slash.

Lokinet Installation and Setup Information
Debian / Ubuntu
Add the Oxen deb package repository on your system by running these three commands:
sudo curl -so /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/oxen.gpg https://deb.oxen.io/pub.gpg echo "deb https://deb.oxen.io $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list sudo apt update
To add Lokinet service to your system without the GUI (command line interface only):
sudo apt install lokinet
or
To add Lokinet service, desktop entry and GUI:
sudo apt install lokinet-gui
Resolver Setup
If your OS utilizes systemd-resolved you should not require any changes. If you wish to utilize resolvconf for dns resolution ensure the following:
Check if resolvconf is installed
dpkg -s resolvconf
If not install resolvconf
sudo apt install resolvconf
Edit the head file for resolvconf
sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
Append entries in the head file with
nameserver 127.3.2.1
Save these changes.
Ctrl x y
Update the changes made to /etc/resolvconf with
sudo resolvconf -u
Restart Lokinet service
sudo systemctl restart lokinet
Raspberry Pi OS
The automated installer from Pi-Apps is highly recommended for configuring Lokinet on Raspberry Pi OS.
Automated Installation (Desktop environment via Pi-Apps installer)
Open terminal
Copy and Paste in the following command:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bash
Allow the script to finish and close terminal
From Raspberry Pi OS Desktop
Start Pi-Apps from desktop entry Select category "Internet" Select "Lokinet" Select Install
Lokinet Control Panel will be added to your Desktop Entries and the Lokinet service is started
Close Pi-Apps application.
Manual Installation
Add the Oxen deb package repository on your system by running these two commands:
sudo wget -qO /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/oxen.gpg https://deb.oxen.io/pub.gpg echo "deb https://deb.oxen.io $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list
Install Lokinet GUI and resolvconf:
sudo apt install lokinet-gui resolvconf
Update resolv.conf settings:
sudo resolvconf -u
Ensure upstream dns is enabled in lokinet.ini by uncommenting the upstream entry:
sudo sed '/upstream/s/^#//' -i /etc/loki/lokinet.ini
If there are issues with the above installation it could be from issues related to tun adapter verifiable by running and looking for the presence of the tun adapter:
lsmod
if the tun adapter is absent recommend using automated Pi-Apps installer as this patches systemd to ensure it's available.
Fedora
Add the Oxen Fedora rpm package repository on your system by running:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.oxen.io/fedora/oxen.repo
Install Lokinet with:
sudo dnf install lokinet
Note: Fedora uses systemd-resolved which Lokinet utilizes. No additional dns setup required.
CentOS / Rocky Linux / RHEL
Add the Oxen CentOS rpm package repository on your system by running:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.oxen.io/centos/oxen.repo
Install Lokinet with:
sudo dnf install lokinet
Configure Lokinet dns: Under section [main] add the following to disable NetworkManager managing dns:
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf dns=none
Save
Ctrl x y
or by adding this .conf file
echo -e "[main]\ndns=none" > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-dns.conf
Restart NetworkManager
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Edit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Add nameservers for Lokinet and clearnet dns:
nameserver 127.3.2.1 nameserver <your_preferred_dns_server>
Save
Ctrl x y
Restart Lokinet
sudo systemctl restart lokinet
openSUSE
Add the Oxen openSUSE rpm package repository on your system by running:
sudo zypper addrepo -f https://rpm.oxen.io/opensuse/tumbleweed.repo
Install Lokinet with:
sudo zypper install lokinet
Configure Lokinet dns: Under section [main] add the following to disable NetworkManager managing dns:
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf dns=none
Save
Ctrl x y
or by adding this .conf file
echo -e "[main]\ndns=none" > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-dns.conf
Restart NetworkManager
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Edit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Add nameservers for Lokinet and clearnet dns:
nameserver 127.3.2.1 nameserver <your_preferred_dns_server>
Save
Ctrl x y
Restart Lokinet
sudo systemctl restart lokinet
LabyrinthAP
Visit github regarding detailed instructions for setting Lokinet as a dedicated access point here:
https://github.com/necro-nemesis/LabyrinthAP
Gentoo Linux
There are 2 ways to get lokinet on your Gentoo machine.
- Ebuild
-To /etc/portage/repos.conf/kamay.conf
[oxen-overlay] location = /etc/portage/custom_repos/kamay sync-type = git sync-uri = https://github.com/XutaxKamay/gentoo-oxen auto-sync = yes
save it, then sync the repos (2 ways)
A) emerge --sync [sync all repos] B) emaint sync -r oxen-overlay [Targets only oxen-overlay]
once everything is successfull, install lokinet with
# emerge -atv net-vps/lokinet
Side-notes:
while installing an error such as "cc1plus" may occur this can be fixed by ensuring the machine is configured to have atleast 1GB of ram per job by editing the make.conf
Example: for a machine with 4GB of ram MAKEOPTS="-j4"
- Manually
It is best to have net-dns/unbound installed
# emerge -atv net-dns/unbound
Clone repo
$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j2 https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet $ cd lokinet $ mkdir build && cd build
This may take a while
$ cmake ../
If the system doesn't use [SystemD], you can turn that option off
$ cmake ../ -DWITH_SYSTEMD=OFF
This applies to anything else you'd like to turn off, you can see a list of options in your build dir using:
$ cmake ../ -L
to compile the program, a Makefile should've been succesfully made from running cmake
$ make -j4
then to install:
# make install # ldconfig
Lokinet is now on your system!
Arch Linux
Manually, this is similar to gentoo
Best to have unbound
# pacman -Sy unbound
get repo
$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j2 https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet $ cd lokinet && mkdir build && cd build $ cmake ../
If you get an error pertaining to "libsodium"
$ cmake ../ -DDOWNLOAD_SODIUM=ON
If completed succefully a Makefile should be cretaed in the build dir. Now its time to compile:
$ make -j4
This may take some time based on your device
After a succesful run, a folder called daemon should be in the build folder. You can run lokinet from there without copying it to run system wide. If you'd like ot run it systemwide:
# cp external/liboxenmq.so* /usr/lib # cd daemon && make install
Voila! Lokinet is on your system.
