Nodes

Nodes are the devices that connect to your VPN networks — laptops, servers, phones, or any machine running the Camouflage client.

Dashboard

The Nodes page shows summary cards:

  • Total Nodes — All registered devices
  • Online — Currently connected
  • Offline — Registered but not connected
  • Pending — Created but never connected

The table lists every node with its name, network, IP address, hostname, status, traffic stats, roles, and actions.

Connection Profile

After creating a node, you receive a one-time authentication key and connection profile.

Node auth key and connection profile

The dialog provides three ways to connect:

  1. Authentication Key — Copy the tskey-... key to use with the CLI client
  2. Installation Command — A ready-to-run shell command for quick setup
  3. Download Config File — Download a .camouflage file to import into the desktop app
warning

Copy the auth key immediately — it is only shown once and cannot be retrieved later.

Adding Multiple Nodes

Create additional nodes on the same network to enable secure communication between them.

Add access node

Once both nodes connect, they receive fixed IPs on the network subnet and can communicate directly:

Nodes that can talk securely

Each node gets a persistent IP address (e.g., 10.99.0.2, 10.99.0.3) that stays the same across reconnections.
