# I built an open-source, zero-telemetry local AI proxy daemon for absolute data sovereignty > Source: > Published: 2026-09-19 03:36:28+00:00 Hey everyone! 👋 Like many developers, I love experimenting with local AI and custom workflows, but I got tired of worrying about data leaks, cloud telemetry, and being locked into a single AI app or vendor ecosystem. So, I built and open-sourced the **Garza Global Graviton (GGG) Sovereign Edge Daemon** — a single, self-contained background daemon designed for absolute data sovereignty. ### What it does GGG runs locally on your machine as an OpenAI-compatible loopback proxying endpoint (`http://127.0.0.1:11834`). - **Zero Telemetry / Air-Gapped:** No accounts, no cloud dependencies, and zero tracking code by construction. Your prompts, history, and context vaults never leave your hardware. - **Sovereign Math Framework:** Features a metadata pacer and HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic response branding to ensure data integrity. - **Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI):** Because it speaks a standard API shape, you can hook it up to any compatible tool—like**VS Code (Continue)** ,**Open WebUI** ,**LM Studio** , or**Jan** —and your data stays portable. - **Zero-Code Quick Start:** It includes plain-English guidance and copy-pasteable setup prompts so non-technical users can secure their local AI pipelines in minutes. ### Quick Example (Python SDK) If you want to plug it into custom scripts or web UIs, it's just standard OpenAI configuration pointing to the local loopback:
