The hardware

Meet the Nx1.

A compact, always-on mini-computer. Two jobs at once: a privacy device for the home, and a trusted node in the NovaLink network.

What it does

Two jobs, one box

A single device with two clearly separated lives — one private to the household, one productive for the network.

For the home

A privacy device the family actually uses

The Nx1 delivers the Auralink app suite to the household — replacing a stack of separate subscriptions with one device.

  • Private VPN with no logs
  • AI-assisted threat & phishing blocking
  • Network-wide ad & tracker filtering
  • Encrypted family chat
For the network

A trusted node, with the owner in control

The same device contributes clean, consent-based residential supply. Approved workloads run in isolated, metered sessions — never touching the owner's activity.

  • Hardware-isolated workload partition
  • Per-session metering & payout
  • Only vetted business buyers
  • Pause or stop at any time

Features

Designed to be trusted

Hardened by default

A read-only, kernel-hardened OS with no inbound ports open and the home LAN isolated from network workloads.

TPM-backed integrity

Secure boot attestation and full-disk encryption anchored in a TPM 2.0 chip, with a unique device certificate.

Signed updates

Firmware and OS updates are cryptographically verified against a NovaLink trust root before they install.

Live device dashboard

Owners see real-time status, uptime, firmware version, traffic, and services running — all in one view.

Consent-based

Participation is opt-in, KYC-verified, and fully auditable. The Nx1 is not an open proxy for anonymous buyers.

Low impact

About 12 W of power and a capped 200 Mbps allocation keep the device quiet and unobtrusive at home.
