Terms and license

Last updated November 14, 2026

Skirk is open-source software for a self-hosted client and exit. It is not a hosted connectivity service. These notes explain the software license and what operating it involves; the repository license is the controlling text for the code.

Software license

Skirk is distributed under the MIT License ↗. Review the license for its permission and warranty terms. Third-party components keep their own licenses, which are identified in the repository.

Running Skirk

You choose the Google account and OAuth project, run or choose the exit machine, and decide which client devices receive the generated profile. The profile carries a Google refresh token and tunnel secret; anyone who has it may be able to use your mailbox and exit until you revoke or replace it. Google Drive quotas, storage, account rules, and any cloud or network charges associated with your setup still apply.

Availability

Skirk depends on Google Drive, OAuth authorization, the exit machine, and the networks between them. Connections can fail or slow down, and authorization can expire or be revoked. No speed, uptime, or indefinite authorization is promised. Consult the setup guide ↗ for recovery and cleanup.
