This software lets you turn your [Qubes OS](https://www.qubes-os.org/) machine into a network server, enjoying all the benefits of Qubes OS (isolation, secure inter-VM process communication, ease of use) with none of the drawbacks of setting up your own Xen server.
##Why?
Qubes OS is a magnificent operating system, but there are so many use cases that its networking model cannot crack:
* As an automated integration testing system. Qubes OS would be
phenomenal for this, and its automation tools would make it
extremely easy to bring up and tear down entire environments.
If only those environments could network with each other securely!
* Remote management of Qubes OS instances. Vanilla Qubes OS cannot
easily be managed remotely. A better networking model would allow
for orchestration tools — such as
[Ansible Qubes](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ansible-qubes) — to manage
entire Qubes OS deployments, all of their VMs, and even minutiae
within each VM.
* Anything that involves a secure server, serving data to people or
machines, simply cannot be done under vanilla Qubes OS.
##Enhanced networking model
The traditional Qubes OS networking model contemplates a client-only
