TangoKore

You are your password. Keep being you.

TangoKore is the easiest way to connect your machines securely. No passwords. No complicated setup. Just one command.

---

🚀 Get Started in 30 Seconds

# That's it. Just run this one command:
curl https://join.kontango.net/install | sudo sh

Your machine is now on a secure network. Connected to everything it needs. Authenticated by being itself.

---

What Does That Command Do?

1. Downloads the installer from our server
2. Runs the installer (it asks for your password once)
3. Connects your machine to the secure mesh network
4. Done! Your machine can now talk to other machines securely

That's all you need to know. The rest happens automatically.

What Makes It Different?

No Passwords

Your machine proves who it is by being itself. Its hardware, OS, behavior—that's your identity. You can't forget it. You can't lose it. It's impossible to fake.

No Setup

No config files. No firewall rules. No IP addresses to memorize. Just one command.

No Hidden Stuff

We don't collect anything secret. We collect hardware info (like what uname -a shows). It's public. You control who sees it.

• Using our server? We keep your data safe, encrypted, deletable anytime
• Running your own? Your data never leaves your network

Fully Open Source

All code is public. MIT license. Read it. Audit it. Trust it.

How It Works (Simple Version)

First time you run it:

• Your machine tells us what hardware it has
• We give it read-only access (safe default)
• You prove you're trustworthy over time

Second time you run it:

• We recognize your machine instantly
• We restore your previous permissions
• Everything just works

With credentials:

• You skip the waiting and get full access immediately

Your Privacy Is Important

You Control Your Data

Option 1: Use Our Server

• Fast, simple, hosted by Kontango
• Your data is encrypted, secure, deletable
• GDPR/CCPA compliant
• Email privacy@kontango.net anytime to delete

Option 2: Run Your Own

• Your machine's data never leaves your network
• You control everything
• 100% private

No Tracking

We don't sell your data. We don't track you. We don't analyze your usage. Period.

Real Examples

Scenario 1: Your First Machine

curl https://join.kontango.net/install | sudo sh

Your machine enrolls with basic read-only access. Safe default.

Scenario 2: Your Machine Comes Back

You deleted the certificate but your hardware is the same.

curl https://join.kontango.net/install | sudo sh

We recognize your hardware. You get your permissions back. No re-setup.

Scenario 3: Pre-Provisioned Access

Your admin pre-gave you credentials.

curl https://join.kontango.net/install | sudo sh --role-id xxx --secret-id yyy

You skip quarantine. You get full access immediately.

---

When Do You Need to Think?

You don't. That's the whole point.

The one time you interact is when you run the command. After that, everything is automatic. You don't remember passwords. You don't configure anything. Your machine just works.

---

What Next?

But What About...?

"Is my data really safe?"

Yes. Your data is encrypted with AES-256. You control who sees it. If you run your own server, only you see it.

"What if I lose my machine?"

Back up your machine file (~/.kontango/machine.json) and you can restore from any machine instantly.

"What if I forget my password?"

You don't have one. Your machine is your password. You can't forget hardware.

"Is this open source?"

Yes. MIT license. Read the code.

---

Privacy Notice

When you run the installer, your machine sends:

• Operating system (what you use: Linux, macOS, Windows)
• Hardware info (CPU, memory, network interfaces)
• System identifiers (things like uname -a shows publicly)

This is public hardware information. Not passwords. Not secrets. Just hardware details.

Why? So we can recognize your machine again and restore your settings.

You can always:

• See what's being sent (it's logged)
• Delete your data from our system (email privacy@kontango.net)
• Run your own server (data stays private)
• Opt-out (don't run the installer)

License

MIT License. Use it anywhere. Modify it. Make it better.
