# 3. Central Verae NATS.IO 3-server cluster
All durable messaging for this product is **NATS JetStream**, not Zapier queues and not a public TCP API.
## Cluster
Three `nats-server -js` nodes form the Verae cluster (routes between them, JetStream replication). Clients (middleware, poller, aggregator, WORM, tree nodes, account-balance, zappier-edge billing, CS/sales/accounting, and any new process cloned from `verae-nats-process`) connect with a **cluster URL list**, for example:
```text
nats://127.0.0.1:4222,nats://127.0.0.1:4223,nats://127.0.0.1:4224
```
On a given machine the listener stays on **loopback** (or a private interface). Operators reach it with `scripts/nats-tunnel.sh` / `ssh -L 14222:127.0.0.1:4222`. **Do not bind 4222 on `0.0.0.0` without auth.**
Todays NS1 box (`NS1.GEORGELAMBERT.ORG`, `70.88.205.138`) already runs JetStream on `127.0.0.1:4222`. The **target** is three clustered nodes so losing one server does not lose the stream. Fleet SSH hosts (`ns1`, later `lan-134`) run **workers**, not extra public NATS listeners.
