Network · privacy layers

Public edge. Private mesh. Loopback doors.

Marketing can be public. Product organs are not. We layer so the Wi‑Fi guest next door never sees your forge, models, or vault — while you still reach them from a Mac on WireGuard.

The sandwich

Four layers — outer to inner

L0

Public marketing edge

thebriefcase.app — brochure, Suite directory, download links. May log standard web requests. No vault. No models. No family chat.

HTTPSno product data
L1

Gated family edge (optional public doors)

Named *.jailynmarvin.com (or your domain) behind nginx/Caddy + family auth. Only the doors you choose to publish. Everything else stays mesh-only.

L2

WireGuard mesh

Private overlay (example family plan 10.1.0.0/24). Peers: operator Macs, DGX Spark, NAS, VPS. Services bind loopback + WG IP — not 0.0.0.0 on house Wi‑Fi.

L3

Loopback doors & product folder

*.localhost doors on your Mac, The Briefcase App folder, Suite Get installs. On-machine truth. Organs talk over Docker/loopback; mesh is how other boxes join.

What stays private

Closed by default

🔒

Compute organs

LLM runtimes, RAG, ComfyUI, forge git objects — mesh or loopback. Not open on guest Wi‑Fi.

🗂

Storage

NAS vaults, model caches, backups — LAN/WG. Marketing site never sees them.

👤

Identity

Family SSO, passkeys, Greet biometrics — your stack. Optional public sign-in only for doors you publish.

Binding law (family edge)Internal services bind:  127.0.0.1  +  WireGuard IP (e.g. 10.1.0.5)
Never:                   0.0.0.0 on house LAN for private organs

Reach paths:
  1. On the box (loopback)
  2. Over WireGuard mesh
  3. Through a published, authenticated public door

Locks = authentication + network edge — not “security by hidden ports.”
