Features | deadmesh

Universal Protocol Support: HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP/IMAP, SOCKS4/5, WebSocket, FTP. If it runs over TCP/IP, it works
Transparent TLS Interception: Inspect and cache HTTPS traffic with HTTP/1.1 ALPN negotiation to minimize mesh bandwidth
Intelligent Fragmentation: Automatically chunks large requests/responses into ~220-byte Meshtastic packets with unique per-chunk packet IDs — bypasses Meshtastic firmware's (from, id) deduplication that would silently drop all but the first chunk of multi-packet sessions
Serial API Handshake: Proper want_config initialization, auto-discovers node ID, receives full mesh state on startup
Robust Serial Framing: 0x94/0xC3 length-prefix state machine with sync recovery. If magic bytes are lost mid-stream, re-synchronizes automatically. This is what makes multi-hour uptime boring in the right way
Live Mesh Visibility: Decodes all Meshtastic packet types (text messages, positions, telemetry, node info, routing)

CLI compile & boot

Store-and-Forward: Delay-tolerant networking handles intermittent mesh connectivity
Connection Pooling: Reuses upstream connections aggressively with TLS session reuse to reduce LoRa airtime cost
Plugin Extensibility: Ad blocking, rate limiting, compression, caching, custom protocol handlers
Hardware Flexibility: USB serial, Bluetooth, or TCP-connected radios. Works on Raspberry Pi, x86 Linux, and WSL2 with USB/IP passthrough
Auto-Detection: Auto-discovers Meshtastic devices on serial ports and auto-detects local node ID from device
Embedded Dashboard: Real-time gateway monitor with SSE streaming, self-contained in the binary, no external assets
Live Node Table: Persistent mesh node database; names, hops, SNR, battery, position, last heard, updated from every packet type
