# About BringYour is a web-standards VPN marketplace with an emphasis on fast, secure internet everwhere. The API for BringYour bootstraps the `connect` protocol, and is the source of JWTs and other match-making transactions. The JWT returned by /auth routes does not have a clientId. The `connect` protocol requires a JWT with a clientId. Use the /network routes to obtain a JWT with a clientId. In the BringYour network: * a network name is a globally unique subnet (xyz.bringyour.network) * a clientId is a globally unique 16-byte address * clientIds are equivalent to IPv6, but are expressed as UDID * clients also have an IPv6 and IPv4 mapped to their clientId Outside of IP translation like taptun/utun, clients are typically addressed via their clientId. Unless otherwise specified, time/date strings will be formatted in the Go default `2006-01-02 15:04:05.999999999 -0700 MST`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
