Deterministic Networking for Autonomous Systems & Headless Fleets
Standard Linux networking tooling assumes an interactive desktop user. When autonomous agents, container engines, and VPN daemons run headless, they routinely hijack default gateways, destroy routing tables, and leak DNS traffic.
I build lean, deterministic system primitives designed to enforce network state and prevent host lockouts:
- agentic-route: Declarative policy routing and continuous drift enforcement. Keeps host egress anchored to physical interfaces while isolating VPN tunnels without gateway hijacking.
- agentic-dns: Multi-tier, leak-proof DNS architecture combining local caching, split-horizon mesh resolution, and isolated upstream tunnel lookups.
Why Sponsor?
Sponsorship directly supports:
- Zero-bloat maintenance: Keeping core tools free of unnecessary dependencies, tracking, or heavy runtimes.
- Multi-architecture & edge testing: Validating deterministic routing behavior across bare-metal servers, ARM boards, and container runtimes.
- Security hardening: Developing resilient, fail-closed network policies for unattended agents.
Whether you run a single VPS or an entire autonomous fleet, your support keeps these primitives independent, open-source, and rock-solid.
