Sign in and keep your settings
Desktop obtains an API key after browser authorization; CLI, Docker, and Android accept your account API key. Use Account Settings to obtain one.
Keep local data or the Docker data volume across upgrades. Each simultaneously running node needs its own identity and data directory. An explicit ANTGAIN_DEVICE_ID is a UUID that should remain stable; do not generate a new one on every launch.
Stop and logout serve different purposes: stop preserves credentials, while logout clears saved credentials. Docker environment credentials remain until the container is recreated with changed settings.
Connection and account state
Use the app's status or antgain health to check the connection. Use the Dashboard to view your devices, usage, and earnings. A connected node is ready to share bandwidth, but traffic and income can vary.
For many devices or locations, visit Provider onboarding to discuss setup and support.
