Flushnet FAQ
Answers for both technical and non-technical users.
What is the difference between native and sandbox?
Native runs on your actual computer. Sandbox runs in an isolated browser environment.
Why do I need an access code?
The access code links your dashboard or GPT session to your logged-in account safely without exposing your password.
Why do I see no nodes?
Usually the agent is not running, the sandbox is not booted, or the node owner does not match your account.
Can ChatGPT control my machine?
Yes, but only through your API setup, valid access code, and node permissions. Sandbox is recommended for safer testing.
What does "node not found" mean?
The selected node is offline, not registered, or not assigned to your account.
What happens when my subscription expires?
Paid-only features are blocked. Depending on your plan, you may still use the free tier or sandbox limits.
Can I share a machine with another user?
Yes. Flushnet supports private nodes now and is prepared for shared and public node access.
Can I use GPU machines?
Yes. GPU/AI nodes can be added for inference, transcription, LLM workloads, and Python/CUDA tasks.
Why do commands sometimes timeout?
Possible causes: node offline, long-running command, hosting timeout, or stale access code.
How do I get started if I know nothing technical?
Use the login page, generate an access code, open the dashboard, choose sandbox, and try a simple command like pwd.
