Networking you fully control.

Chaos Router OS installs on top of Raspberry Pi OS and turns a Raspberry Pi 5 with an LTE or 5G modem into a router with a clean dashboard: Wi-Fi, firewall, VPN, DHCP and DNS, all managed from your browser.

Why Chaos Router OS

A router that never bricks itself.

Every change is checked before it is saved. If a setting cuts you off, the router puts the previous one back by itself. A reboot always comes back to the last working setup.

  • Safe Apply with automatic revert
  • Wi-Fi on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz
  • WireGuard and OpenVPN
  • Firewall on by default
  • DHCP, DNS and blocklists
  • Setup by QR code on your phone
  • Backups in one file
  • Web shell for the details

Install

On Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit), logged in as your normal user:

$ curl -fsSL https://chaos-software.dev/router-os/core | sudo bash

The installer sets everything up and finishes with a QR code for the setup Wi-Fi. Scan it and the setup page opens.
