TunnelNet OS help

Step-by-step guides for putting TunnelNet OS on a PC, connecting it to your account and looking after it. We test every step on our own machines before we publish it.

Guides

1. What you need for TunnelNet OS

   The PC, ports, USB stick and account you need before you start.

4. Install TunnelNet OS on a PC

5. Plug in your TunnelNet OS router

   One cable to your internet modem, one to your office network, and how to tell which port is which.

6. Connect TunnelNet OS to your TunnelNet account Coming soon

   Use the one-time setup code from the portal to add the router to your site.

7. Open a port with TunnelNet OS Coming soon

   Let people reach a computer in your office at your TunnelNet address.
