Next Community Call: Wednesday, October 21!

Join us for our monthly community call to discuss the latest developments in the TollGate project and the future of decentralized internet access.

This is a great opportunity to connect with the core team and other community members, ask questions, and share your ideas.

Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2026

Time:
- Eastcoast USA: 8:00 am (08:00)
- Europe CEST: 2:00 pm (14:00)
- Cobrador Island (Shanghai): 8:00 pm (20:00)

What we have been up to:
- The Go backend (tollgate-module-basic-go) has a v0.6.0 pre-release out: https://github.com/FreedomTechFeed/packages/releases/tag/v0.6.0-rc6
- Getting routers ready: conwrt flashes OpenWrt onto routers. It uses AI to work out how to flash a new model, then flashes that model automatically from then on. tollgate-installer is a desktop wizard that finds routers on your LAN and installs TollGate on them. https://github.com/Amperstrand/conwrt , https://github.com/OpenTollGate/tollgate-installer
- Test automation: one framework runs our TollGate backends (Go and Rust) against physical routers, local QEMU VMs or cloud VMs. https://github.com/OpenTollGate/physical-router-test-automation
- tollgate-rs v0.1.0-rc.2 is out. It's a Rust rewrite that builds in everything we've learned so far. It can sell anything that streams, not only bandwidth, and it's built FIPS-first.
- tollgate-suite-wrt v0.1.0-rc.2 is one way to deploy TollGate: the full stack packaged for OpenWrt routers, with a captive portal and Lightning payments.
- tollgate-fleet is another way to deploy TollGate. It runs many OpenWrt routers as one network, bridged over FIPS to a single gateway. Phones pay once and keep their session as they roam from router to router.

We will be discussing:
- From router to TollGate: flashing, installing and testing.
- tollgate-rs and the road to v0.1.0.
- Ways to deploy TollGate: suite and fleet.
- Community contributions and how to get involved.
- Open Q&A session at the end.
