+[Hyperboria](https://hyperboria.net/) uses [cjdns](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns) to construct an end-to-end-encrypted ipv6 mesh network.
 Connections between nodes are established manually, and traffic is restricted to the resulting social graph.
 
 This repository exists for those who don't already know somebody on Hyperboria.
 
+## Using credentials
+
+First, set up a cjdns node.
+
+To connect your node to one of these public peers, follow [the steps in the cjdns README](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/#3-connect-your-node-to-your-friends-node).

 ## Adding your public node's credentials
 
 If you've created a public node, and would like to have it listed here, fork the repo, add a keyfile, and submit a PR.
