rpki-client Funding


The rpki-client project needs your help!

Rpki-client is mission-critical software which actively helps protect large portions of the global Internet routing system. The rpki-client project has helped reduce the frequency and impact of major Internet routing outages worldwide. Now the project needs your help.

The project's development & security audit work relies on both full-time employees and volunteer contributors. The rpki-client project is administratively and financially supported by the Netherlands-based Route Server Support Foundation (RSSF), a non-profit entity. Funds are used to pay salary & pension for the full-time employees and to cover hosting & infrastructure costs, legal & administrative expenses, and infrequent travel costs to IETF & Euro-IX meetings. The rpki-client project needs your help to reach the fundraising goal of €300,000 for 2026.

We need to reach the fundraising goal before 2026 in order to meet our legal obligations and continue work in 2026.
