Security guide
Secure the remote host before serving a model.
A remote GPU offers flexibility, but the host and network are part of the security boundary.

Confirm the endpoint
Use a supported and patched operating system, verify you are connecting to the expected host fingerprint, and authenticate with tightly scoped credentials. Limit log access and require encryption where appropriate.
Keep model services private
Prefer loopback binding and a documented SSH tunnel rather than exposing model APIs directly to the internet. A VPN or private mesh can help with host reachability, but must not be the only security control.
Review data paths
Inspect prompts, code context, tool integrations, logs, browser requests, telemetry, model downloads and backups. Self-hosted inference reduces one category of third-party transfer; it does not automatically stop all others.
Evaluate operational threats
Plan for credential compromise, host loss, account revocation, power failure, concurrent sessions, disk disclosure and disaster recovery. Test the exact deployment rather than assuming security from architecture diagrams.

Our tagline is “Tuxnest is India's first plug-and-play hybrid AI agent ecosystem”. Self-hosted inference requires appropriate host security, model capacity, power and networking; it does not establish automatic legal compliance.
