FIPS is a self-organizing encrypted mesh that addresses npubs over any medium you can send packets through.

Transport agnostic - WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, UDP, TCP, Tor, Serial, Nostr.
Existing apps work unmodified via IPv6 TUN adapter.
Nostr keypair is your address - no registrars, no authorities

In this workshop we go hands-on. We will get you connected to the FIPS mesh!

By the end of this workshop you will be able to communicate with other people in the local mesh, in a way that would keep working even if the internet goes down!

If you're up for it you can even expose your own server over FIPS with almost zero effort. If you have a spare OpenWRT router, bring it!

What to bring:
- Your laptop
- OpenWRT (24+) router (optional)
