Terms of service

Last updated 24 October 2026.

These terms cover your use of nohop: the open-source software (the nohop and nohop-net programs and the code at github.com/gradzero-ai) and this website. By installing or using nohop you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use it.

The software and its licence

nohop is free software under the Apache License 2.0. The licence governs what you may do with the code (use, change, share). These terms add nothing to it and take nothing away; where they differ, the licence wins.

No service, no account

nohop runs on your own devices. nohop.ai runs no service for it, holds no account for you and receives none of your data; see the privacy policy. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay.

Your network, your responsibility

nohop changes real things: it can switch internet access off for people and devices, change your router's settings and control devices in your home. You decide what it does and you're responsible for that, including:

• having the right to manage the network and devices you point it at;
• telling the people in your home what it does, and following the law where you live on monitoring other people's use of the internet;
• keeping your backup key and recovery passphrase safe. Backups are encrypted with them; without them nobody, including us, can restore your data.

Google Drive and other services

If you connect Google Drive (or another storage service), nohop uses it on your behalf only to store, list and delete its own encrypted backup copies. Your use of that service stays under its own terms (for Google Drive, Google's Terms of Service). You can disconnect it at any time with nohop backup target rm or at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

No warranty

nohop is provided "as is", without warranties or conditions of any kind, as the licence says. It may have bugs, it may lose connectivity or data, and a change it makes may need undoing by hand. Test changes, keep backups and keep a way to reach your router without nohop.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, the nohop authors and contributors are not liable for any damages arising from your use of nohop or this website, including lost data, lost connectivity or interrupted service, as set out in sections 7 and 8 of the licence.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above says when they last changed, and the history is public in the website's repository. Using nohop after a change means you accept the new terms.
