Burrow is an open source tool for burrowing through firewalls, built by teenagers at [Hack Club](https://hackclub.com/).
`burrow` provides a simple command-line tool to open virtual interfaces and direct traffic through them.
Routine verification now runs unprivileged with `cargo test --workspace --all-features`; only tunnel startup needs elevation.
The repository now carries its own design and deployment record:
- [Constitution](./CONSTITUTION.md)
- [Burrow Evolution](./evolution/README.md)
- [WireGuard Rust Lineage](./docs/WIREGUARD_LINEAGE.md)
- [Protocol Roadmap](./docs/PROTOCOL_ROADMAP.md)
- [Forward Email Runbook](./docs/FORWARDEMAIL.md)
