TL;DR

Info

  • The proprietary desktop app distributed through 404privacy.com
  • The open source stack you can self-host, inspect, build, and modify yourself

Windows implementation

On Windows, the desktop app provisions and operates the 404 distribution, which is built on the Rose base and booted through WSL2 when Linux-side networking features are needed.

Legal documents:

Open source code

Licensed under AGPLv3.

Account, licensure, and release infrastructure

  • Desktop authentication routes
  • Billing portal access
  • Signed desktop updater metadata delivery
  • Signed distribution manifest and tarball delivery for the Rose-based Linux path

This allows us to ship managed builds and service enterprise users.
