Nodes
A node is a relay server running FF1 Core. Every forward lands on a node, so enroll your nodes first.
Adding a node
Section titled “Adding a node”Two options:
- One-click SSH install: Enter the node’s IP, SSH port, and credentials, and the Master installs and registers FF1 Core automatically. See Install FF1 Core.
- Manual install: Run the install script on the node and fill in the Master address and enrollment token.
A node needs no public IP; it only has to be able to reach the Master.
