Digital
Equality
Privacy implies universal protection. If software is not accessible to everyone regardless of physical or cognitive ability, it fails its foundational mandate. We engineer Tunnely to remove barriers, not create them.
Our Commitment
At Tunnely, digital accessibility is treated not as a secondary checklist, but as a primary engineering constraint. We unequivocally believe that the fundamental right to privacy and secure communication must never be gated behind poor design choices or inaccessible interfaces.
We are continuously committing resources to ensure that our public web interfaces, secure dashboards, and native cross-platform binaries are robustly usable by individuals utilizing assistive technologies. This includes comprehensive support for screen readers, specialized keyboard navigation, and high-visibility contrast environments.
As we deploy new cryptographic features and infrastructure updates, our CI/CD pipelines and manual QA processes are geared toward identifying and remediating accessibility barriers before they reach production.
Powered by A11ycore
Maintaining structural accessibility across a rapidly evolving application requires specialized infrastructure. We have integrated A11ycore's remediation layer into our stack. A11ycore provides continuous DOM auditing, automated structural fixes, and semantic integrity checks, ensuring that our commitment to an inclusive interface scales alongside our global relay network.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA
We strictly target Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA conformity across our entire digital infrastructure, treating accessibility regressions as critical deployment blockers.
Keyboard Operability
Every interactive element, configuration panel, and relay selection tool is fully operable via keyboard interfaces without trapping focus or requiring specific timing constraints.
Visual Adaptation
Our stark, high-contrast brutalist UI directly supports optimal legibility. We enforce strict contrast ratios, support system-level scaling, and ensure content remains readable without relying solely on color.
Assistive Technology
We semantically structure our DOM layers with ARIA landmarks and descriptive attributes, verifying compatibility with industry-standard screen readers across both desktop and mobile environments.
Feedback Loop
Accessibility is an iterative, operational process. If you encounter any barriers, navigational dead-ends, or contrast issues within the Tunnely ecosystem, we require that data to patch our systems.
