Nine gigabits per core · four clients in production

Mobile tunnel infrastructure, as a component.

A VPN data plane that moves 20+ Gbit/s from one box and still fits on a €5 VPS, with production clients for Android, iOS, Windows and Linux. License it inside your own product, or put real apps in front of servers you already run.

Market-leading performance

Nine gigabits. One core.

Most tunnels quote throughput for a whole machine. We quote it per core, because that is the number that decides your infrastructure bill. At peak the node moved 20 Gbit/s and still left a fifth of the box idle — what ran out first was the machine generating the load. The same binary runs on a five-euro VPS.

Nine gigabits per core

Not per box. Your bandwidth bill scales on this number, not on a marketing one.

Four clients in production

Android, iOS, Windows, Linux — including the iOS extension memory ceiling everyone else fights.

No home-grown cryptography

TLS 1.3 over OpenSSL. Ours is the framing and the session handling, not the crypto.

No address is mandatory

Clients resolve a live entry point from a signed bundle. Blocking one address does not remove the service.

Zero trust by construction

Entry points hold no secrets, access is per device, revocation lands at the node.

Runs anywhere you can rent

From a €5 VPS to bare metal, same binary, no separate build.

Full benchmark reports, methodology and JFR profiles are available on request under NDA.

Three ways to use it

Buy the part you would otherwise spend a year building.

Embed

Menkar SDK

You already have a product — parental control, MDM, mobile security, a filtering browser. It needs a tunnel, and the tunnel is not your business. Drop ours in.

  • Android VpnService lifecycle handled: backgrounding, network changes, doze, per-app rules
  • iOS NEPacketTunnelProvider built to the extension memory ceiling, not against it
  • Your branding, your servers, your entitlement rules
  • Commercial licence — no copyleft obligations in your app
Annual licence per product. Pilot integration in under an hour.
Operate

Menkar White-label

You run servers and sell access, and your users are stuck pasting config strings into a generic client. Give them a real app with your name on it instead.

  • Branded Android and iOS builds from a single tenant config
  • Device management, revocation and subscription state out of the box
  • Blocking-resistant delivery — clients find a live entry point without a fixed address
  • Your nodes, your traffic, your customers
Monthly per tenant. No bandwidth costs on our side, none passed to you.
Connect

Menkar Corporate

Your people need work systems from a kitchen table in another country. The usual answer is a concentrator that trusts anyone who got inside. Here access is granted to a device, not to a network.

  • Nodes stay inside your own perimeter — traffic never crosses our infrastructure
  • Access is issued per device and checked every session; a lost laptop is one revocation, not a password rotation
  • A stable egress address, so allowlists on internal systems keep working
  • Per-app routing on Android: work traffic through the tunnel, everything else straight out
  • Contractors on their own machines get the same four clients as staff
Annual licence per seat. Self-hosted — we never see the traffic.
Platform

What's actually in the box.

Your app or your users Menkar client 4 platforms Your nodes data plane Internet Control plane entry-point discovery · no fixed address
Data plane

Userspace forwarder, Java and Rust

Zero-copy fast path, role-based QoS, active queue management. Runs on a €5 VPS or a Raspberry Pi 5.

Transport

TLS 1.3 over OpenSSL 3.x

Standard primitives, no home-grown cryptography. Framing and session management are ours; the crypto is not.

Clients

Four platforms, one behaviour

Android VpnService, iOS NEPacketTunnelProvider, Windows and Linux — same session semantics across all of them.

Control plane

Fleet, sessions, revocation

Node registry, live session state, instant device revocation, bans. Nodes keep serving when it is unreachable.

Entitlement

One ledger, many sources

Purchases land in an idempotent ledger; entitlements are derived from it. Store billing, direct sales and manual grants use the same model.

Delivery

No address is mandatory

Clients resolve a live entry point from a signed bundle carried over untrusted channels. Blocking one address does not remove the service.

Trust model

Zero trust is an architecture, not a checkbox.

Most tunnels assume the entry point is friendly, the network perimeter means something, and a credential issued once stays good. We assume none of it. Every one of these is a structural property, not a setting someone can forget to turn on.

01

Entry points hold no secrets

A gate terminates TLS but cannot read what passes through it — the payload is sealed to the core. Seize a gate, take its disk, and you get no identities, no tokens, no user list.

02

Identity is per device, never per network

Rights travel inside a short-lived device credential and are checked on every session. Being inside the network grants nothing at all.

03

Revocation lands at the node

A revoked device stops moving packets immediately — not at the next renewal, not when a cache expires, and not only in the billing system.

04

The fleet trusts itself least of all

Policy travels inside each node's certificate rather than in host configuration, and node-to-node is denied by default. A compromised node cannot reach its neighbours.

Status

What ships today, and what doesn't.

We would rather you read this than find out during an evaluation. Dates are targets, not promises, and we will tell you if they move.
