Galaxy Direct · over the internet

Zero trust path. OTA flash. At Cloudflare cost.

We do not resell Cloudflare. The platform rides their network. You open no Cloudflare account. Galaxy Direct transit on your bill is their published rate, at cost, on all of it. There is no included amount. Nexus transit stays free.

Galaxy Direct

Phone to device over the internet. SSH and desktop through your gateway. Signed bin flash. Cloudflare list, at cost.

At cost

Nexus transit

Hash-named files on a node you run. Devices fetch with PQ auth. Those bytes are not billed.

Free

Run a Nexus node

alienlights-ztna gateway run --nexus --nexus-max-gb 20
alienlights-ztna nexus push app.bin --node https://gw.example.com

Signed firmware and packages stay on your machine, named by SHA-256. Bytes your node serves are Nexus transit — free. The same bytes over Galaxy Direct are Cloudflare's published rate (at cost).

Live from Cloudflare

The rates. Same number on both columns.

Pulled from Cloudflare's published docs and applied at cost. No markup.

Data storagen/an/anone, it is yours

Transit lines have no included amount. You pay the rate on all of it. Cents rounded half up, line by line. What your own cloud provider charges to store your data is between you and them.

Doorbell

A million devices. Almost nothing to keep reachable.

Each device holds one idle WebSocket to its object. Keep-alives are free. The object wakes only on connect or when you ring it. That is why a big fleet stays cheap.

DevicesDoorbell (at cost)Per device / year
100$0.02$0.0024
1,000$0.08$0.0010
100,000$8.24$0.0010
1,000,000$82.09$0.0010

8 MB signed bin every 6 months · 30 reconnects a month. Every unit is billed. There is no included amount. Users over two are still a flat $10 — not per device.
