Clean
NetAccel uses a curated DNS pipeline (Pi-hole, Unbound, Clash) to remove thousands of tracking and advertising endpoints that waste time and bandwidth.
Clarity through simplicity.
Trust through transparency.
NetAccel is a quiet, deterministic network appliance—designed not to impress, but to serve: real, transparent, and under your control.
Born in the lab, built for those who understand systems and shape their own digital future.
For homes, small studios, and creators who value latency, privacy, and autonomy.
Why NetAccel?
Honest
No cloud dashboard, no telemetry, no hidden analytics. NetAccel does not phone home and does not sell or share any form of digital identity.
Low-Latency
By cleaning DNS and avoiding unnecessary round-trips, NetAccel reduces perceived “Internet slowness” without forcing ISP bandwidth upgrades.
How NetAccel Works (High-Level)
Small appliance, big clarity
NetAccel sits next to your existing router. In Wi-Fi Edition, it exposes a dedicated SSID; in Bridge Edition, it transparently bridges wired and wireless clients.
All DNS traffic passes through a local stack: Pi-hole for filtering, Unbound for recursive resolution, and Clash for optional advanced routing — all running on your device, under your control.
Autonomy, not attachment
NetAccel is provisioned once, then becomes self-contained: encrypted storage, unique per-board identity, and unattended security updates pulled directly from official repositories — without involving any vendor cloud.
The result: a quiet, predictable network environment that belongs to you, not to a remote service.
Privacy & Security Design
Privacy by Design
No central accounts, no remote configuration portal, no user profiling. NetAccel is designed so that the safest default is also the simplest: keep everything local.
Encrypted at Rest
Each unit builds a unique cryptographic identity from board-level traits and a lab key, then migrates its root filesystem into a LUKS container and scrubs the original.
Autonomy without Insecurity
A minimal unattended security update mechanism keeps the system patched from trusted sources, on a predictable schedule, without any telemetry or vendor lock-in.
Who is NetAccel for?
- Families who want a quieter, cleaner online experience
- Small studios and clinics where latency and reliability matter
- Makers and engineers who value transparent, inspectable systems
- Anyone tired of “smart” devices that phone home by default
NetAccel is intentionally small, focused, and opinionated. It doesn’t try to be a cloud platform or a general-purpose server. It does one job well: restore a calm, honest, low-latency Internet at the edge of your network.
