Network Configuration

Nomad Network uses the Reticulum Network Stack for communication and encryption. This means that it will use any interfaces and communications channels already defined in your Reticulum configuration.

Reticulum supports using many kinds of devices as networking interfaces, and allows you to mix and match them in any way you choose. The number of distinct network topologies you can create with Reticulum is more or less endless, but common to them all is that you will need to define one or more interfaces for Reticulum to use.

If you have not changed the default Reticulum configuration, which should be located at ~/.reticulum/config, you will have one interface active right now. With it, you should be able to communicate with any other peers and systems that exist on your local ethernet or WiFi network, if your computer is connected to one, and most probably nothing else outside of that.

To learn how to configure your Reticulum setup to use LoRa radios, packet radio or other interfaces, or connect to other Reticulum networks via the Internet, the best places to start is to read the relevant parts of the Reticulum Manual, which can be found on GitHub:

If you don't currently have access to the Internet, you can generate a configuration file full of examples of all the supported interface types, by using the command rnsd --exampleconfig. Using those examples, it should be possible to get a
