Networking
Jobs are pushed to your node: the router opens a connection to the address you registered and streams the request. Your node needs a public HTTPS endpoint.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- A hostname with a valid TLS certificate. Plain HTTP is refused outside local testing.
- Inbound connections allowed on that port.
- The node itself listens only on localhost; put a reverse proxy or tunnel in front of it.
Home connections
Section titled “Home connections”Most home connections sit behind carrier-grade NAT with no inbound port. Use a tunnel service that gives you a public hostname and forwards to the node on localhost. Any tunnel that terminates TLS and forwards HTTP works. Register the tunnel’s hostname as your node address.
Latency
Section titled “Latency”Validators measure time to first token. A slow tunnel counts against you the same way a slow GPU does. Keep the tunnel endpoint close to the machine.
