VluxNet is peer-to-peer on the local network at its core. The cloud relay is optional for mobile use cases, not required. 80-90% of functionality stays reachable — even when cloud services are blocked, internet exchanges fail or your home connection drops.
Cloud solutions structurally depend on a working internet connection. WhatsApp, Teams, OneDrive — as soon as the server is unreachable, the whole system stops. Even if your phone is sitting right next to your PC.
VluxNet works differently: devices talk directly to each other, on the LAN. Phone photos to PC, chat between office computers, opening a Vlux Drive file — all of it works without an internet connection. The cloud only gets involved when you need mobile access from outside.
That makes VluxNet the only marketing solution in the DACH market that is structurally crisis-resilient — not as a marketing promise, but as a consequence of the architecture.
Most tools used today are structurally dead the moment your internet connection drops.
| System | On internet outage |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp / Signal / Telegram | ❌ Dead — all need cloud servers, even when two phones are right next to each other |
| Microsoft Teams / Slack / Zoom | ❌ Dead — server relay required |
| OneDrive / Google Drive / Dropbox | ❌ No access to your own data |
| Gmail / Outlook (cloud) | ❌ No mail send or receive |
| Threema | ❌ Dead — server relay via Swiss servers |
| NextCloud / OwnCloud (self-hosted) | 🟡 Web UI works, but no chat and no streaming |
| Matrix / Element (federated) | 🟡 Partial — only when both accounts are on the same home server |
| VluxNet | ✅ 80-90% functionality stays fully available on the LAN |
Even without internet, most of what you use every day stays available.
Crisis-resilient sounds theoretical — these sectors need it in practice.
When German internet exchanges come under attack or cloud providers become unusable in a conflict scenario, administrative communication stays operational — staff keep chatting, files stay reachable, the AI keeps answering from the local model.
Patient documentation and team communication keep working even during internet outages — unlike cloud solutions, where every provider problem brings the whole system to a halt.
Client files and internal communication stay available in a crisis. Safer than any cloud solution that could block during provider issues or internet disruptions.
Power outages or internet provider problems don’t mean the family can’t communicate anymore — as long as the home Wi-Fi runs (with a small UPS on the router, even that holds), Vlux stays available.
Own communication infrastructure without vendor dependence on the US, China or Russia. The architecture is explicitly designed so that the system works without internet.
So the message doesn’t come across as just marketing — here are the limits.
Important context: VluxNet is not a replacement for national emergency communication systems (BOS digital radio, THW radio). But significantly more resilient than any cloud solution because 80-90% of everyday functionality structurally works locally.
What VluxNet delivers — even in a crisis.

The beta phase is starting now — with a fixed group of testers.
The beta is running with a fixed group — we're not accepting further applications at this time. General availability is coming; then VluxNet will be open to everyone.
If you need a secure solution right now, reach out anyway — we'll find a way.
