meile gui
v2.0.3 - Windows
Meile dVPN GUI for Linux, OS X, and Windows - Powered by the Sentinel Network - a blockchain decentralized VPN.
The full version 1.8.0 has been released to GitHub. Branches include main, osx-fiat-intel, windows, fiat, osx-fiat, pip. The exception is that we did not include the scrtsxx.py which contains credentials for the FIAT gateway. Please navigate the various branches to understand the different interworkings. It is our intention to eventually merge all branches into a unified code source.
The current release is version 1.8.0. Please note this does not use Windows APIs to ask for Administration privileges and relies on an open source implementation called "gsudo". Gsudo is just a hack to ask the user to modify network adapters so that Meile may connect without issue.
Also, Meile opens a debug console in the background. Do not close this otherwise the app will close as well. We are working on getting a Microsoft Developers Certificate so we may sign the app for official release. Also, when we get the certificate we will eliminate the debug console as well. We also have plans to integrate an MSI installer package. This is all in the works.
Download: Meile for Windows (v1.8.0)
Download the latest release as a DMG: Mac OS X v1.8.0
The OS X M1/M2 and Intel builds are packaged as a disk image (DMG). To install, simply download the correct DMG for your architecture (Intel or Apple Silicon [arm]). Double click on the DMG file and move the Meile app bundle to your desktop or to the Applications folder.
Both the OS X Intel and Apple Silicon release are signed by a Apple Developer Certificate. There should be no errors when running these.
pip install is not currently available for Mac OS X or Windows. We are working on bringing this as a separate packages.
The latest version of Meile GUI comes packaged as a Debian archive. Simply download the latest release: Meile Releases
and run apt for your build:
sudo apt install -y ./meile-gui-v1.8.0_ubuntu22.04_amd64.debThis release will install wireguard tools, resolvconf, curl, and net-tools alongside the Meile GUI. To connect to nodes or disconnect requires "sudo" privileges. You will be prompted by your system dialog to enter your username's password to give authorization to complete the connection. This is due to how Linux handles permissions with regards to network interfaces.
meile-guiOr goto your panel menu under Internet and there will be a clickable icon.
Because there were issues loading certain mesa OpenGL drivers in various Debian Virtual Machines, we have included a separate .deb archive that automatically configures the system to handle the Meile dependencies. Please use this version if you are running a Debian flavor in a virutal machine (VM).

Install the rpm from a terminal via dnf (RECOMMENDED):
sudo dnf install meile-gui-v1.8.0-1.fc36.x86_64.rpmor via rpm:
sudo rpm -i meile-gui-v1.8.0-1.fc36.x86_64.rpmdnf is recommended as it will install all dependencies for Meile to function correctly.
Our wonderful community member and part-time developer @Tkd-Alex has graciously taken on the role of compiling an Arch Linux package. The current release version is 1.8.0 and can be downloaded from: Meile Arch Linux Release
To install, run:
sudo pacman -U --noconfirm meile-gui-1.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstRequirements: python<=3.10
Recommended: python==3.10.x
To install python3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04/Fedora 36 or older follow the instructions here:
Install python3.10 as python on ubuntu 20.04 · GitHub
Meile dVPN GUI v0.15.0.0 is now available as a pip packages as well. These are pre-releases scheduled to be built into a binary for the various platforms. First install system dependencies:
sudo apt install -y wireguard-tools openresolv mesa-utils libgl1-mesa-glx xclip python3-dev curl net-tools python3.10-venv build-essentialThen install via pip
pip3 install meile-guivia a virtual environment:
mkdir ~/venv && python3 -m venv ~/venv/meile
source ~/venv/meile/bin/activate
pip3 install meile-guiUpgrade via pip
pip3 install meile-gui --upgradeTo run Meile GUI after pip install do the following:
meile-guiThe FIAT gateway is not included in the pip package. This is due to certain credentials needing to remain secret for OPSEC reasons. The pip package will continue to get updated without the FIAT gateway with bug fixes and feature additions.
We consider the pip releases to be pre-releases of the compiled binaries. Pip is considered the bleeding edge of Meile releases
We package the following binaries with our releases:
tun2socks(GitHub - xjasonlyu/tun2socks: tun2socks - powered by gVisor TCP/IP stack)
v2ray (GitHub - v2fly/v2ray-core: A platform for building proxies to bypass network restrictions.)
sentinel-cli (GitHub - sentinel-official/cli-client: The official Sentinel CLI client)
warp (Download WARP · Cloudflare Zero Trust docs)
gsudo (GitHub - gerardog/gsudo: Sudo for Windows)
We have built tun2socks, v2ray, and sentinel-cli from source on the target architectures. Cloudflare warp is closed-source and so we packaged the binaries direct from the install link above. For windows we downloaded the pre-built gsudo binary from the above github.
Note: we use v2ray version 5.1.0 as this is what the dvpn-node software also uses and it is recommended to use the same client version as the server version.

All suggestions are welcome.
In order to create a binary for your distribution some packages need to be installed first.
Pyinstaller:
pip3 install pyinstallerInstall a python virtualenv:
sudo apt install python3-venvThen clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/MathNodes/meile-guiSwitch to the pip branch as this is the one without FIAT gateway
cd meile-gui && git checkout pip
Then run a python virtual environment and install meile-gui. This will find all the dependencies for meile-gui.
python3 -m venv meile-gui &&
source meile-gui/bin/activate &&
pip install -r requriements.txt && pip install -e .Once meile-gui and it's dependencies have been installed within the python virutal environment, a binary release can be created:
bash pyinstaller.cmdThat's it. Navigate to the dist folder where the binary will be.
For windows, install the necessary pip packages found in setup.py and run the following with pyinstaller
pyinstaller meile_gui.specThis will build the binary found in the dist directory of the Meile tree.
Because we are working on a small grant with no VC funding, any additional contributions to our developer team is more than certainly welcomed. It will help fund future releases.
