Evidence checklist

Public proof keeps privacy claims honest.

The Gateway documents evidence for install behavior, privacy posture, recovery, and operator workflows so visitors can judge the system before they trust it.

When evidence includes logs, screenshots, or support bundles, start with the redaction guide before you attach anything.

Proof to publish

Demo video, screenshots, supported hardware matrix, install transcript, public test summary, production-site verification, recovery drill, privacy posture check, and the first operator report.

Claims to avoid

No automatic anonymity guarantees, no hidden traffic inspection, no unproven install claims, and no unsupported hardware promises.

Evidence ledger

Every launch claim should map to a proof artifact and a remaining risk.

Install claim

Needs fresh-machine transcript, hardware profile, dependency list, setup duration, known failure points, and rollback note.

Route ownership claim

Needs before/after route table, intended egress, fallback trigger, blocked-path proof, and operator approval note.

DNS ownership claim

Needs resolver map, upstream list, forced-DNS proof, bypass handling, per-device sample, and redacted query evidence.

Screenshot claim

Needs UI screenshots that show the operator surface behind the claim: dashboard, routing policy, DNS, devices, backup, recovery, or validation views. Replace private hostnames, account names, addresses, keys, and topology details with realistic synthetic examples before publication.

Redaction claim

Needs a short note explaining what was redacted, what synthetic values replaced it, and which operational claim the screenshot supports.

Privacy posture claim

Needs route/DNS/leak checks, browser and account caveats, transport assumptions, and explicit non-anonymity boundary.

Security claim

Needs a public security summary, known limitations, disclosure path, and any relevant audit or review result before the claim is treated as publishable.

Recovery claim

Needs rollback command, backup restore evidence, recovery access proof, stop condition, and known-good timestamp.

Support claim

Needs redaction guide, bounded access rule, retention expectation, revocation path, and proof that credentials stay with the operator.

Evidence hygiene

Publish enough proof to be useful without leaking operator context.

Publish

Redacted screenshots, summaries, sanitized command output, hardware class, version, result, limitation, and the claim each artifact supports.

Keep private

Private keys, tokens, customer names, account identifiers, private hostnames, full traffic captures, private IP maps, and unredacted topology.

Mark uncertain

Unsupported hardware, untested rollback paths, unknown relay trust, incomplete leak checks, and any result that has not been reproduced.

Screenshot set

Use visual proof only when it supports a concrete operator claim.

Redacted Gateway dashboard showing route, DNS, tunnel, device, and backup status cards
Dashboard Supports the posture claim.

Shows route, DNS, tunnel, device, and backup state together with realistic synthetic values.

Redacted Gateway routing policies screen
Policies Supports the route ownership claim.

Shows named policy intent, fallback behavior, and device scope without private topology.

Redacted Gateway DNS control screen
DNS Supports the DNS ownership claim.

Shows resolver policy, upstream choices, and filtering posture with synthetic domains.
