What is a Mysterium Node?

Nodes are devices, such as a Raspberry Pi or computer, which help power and maintain our distributed network.
​
Most of the internet you pay for goes to waste, sitting idle or completely unused. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share these excess internet resources with each other, such as storage, computing power, bandwidth and IP addresses. Any user of the network can pay to connect to your node, providing them with a VPN service, access to the open internet and a secure line of communication.
​
Nodes replace the traditional role of a server. You can run Mysterium's node software on Mac, Linux, Windows, DAppNode, AVADO and Pi boards.
