# IP Transit

> Attach routable public IPs to any Linux server through the Serververse™ Network Transit.

Serververse™ Network Transit is a production-grade IP transit system designed for **developers, homelab operators, and infrastructure engineers**. It lets you attach a routable public IP to any Linux-based server — even behind NAT — through an automated provisioning workflow.

Traffic is routed through the **Serververse edge network** over a secure WireGuard tunnel, giving your server direct public exposure without touching your local ISP or managing complex routing rules yourself.

<Note>
  Network Transit is currently in **beta**. Breaking changes may occur between minor versions.
</Note>

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your install command">
    Log in to the [Serververse Dashboard](https://labs.serververs.com) and navigate to **Network Transit**. Your personalised install command — including your provisioning token — is generated for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run it on your server">
    Paste the command on your Linux server. The installer handles tunnel configuration and provisioning automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're live">
    Serververse provisions your tunnel on the edge network and your server receives a routable public IP.

## Operational Notes

<Warning>
  Always ensure **out-of-band access (IPMI, VNC, or console)** is available before running the installer. Incorrect routing may temporarily disrupt your SSH session.
