NetBird
Self-hosted VPN and zero-trust network access
NetBird is an open-source network security platform that creates encrypted peer-to-peer connections between your devices and servers. With 12K+ GitHub stars, it replaces traditional VPNs with a modern, zero-trust approach. Connect your infrastructure securely without exposing ports or configuring firewalls.
Why NetBird?
Traditional VPNs are slow, complex, and create a single point of failure. They route all traffic through a central server, adding latency and bottlenecks. Modern teams need secure connectivity that's fast, decentralized, and easy to manage—without opening firewall ports or exposing services to the internet.
How It Works
NetBird creates encrypted WireGuard tunnels directly between your devices using peer-to-peer connections. Traffic goes point-to-point for maximum speed. Manage access with network policies and groups. Devices connect automatically—no manual VPN configurations, no port forwarding, no firewall rules.
What Is NetBird?
NetBird is an open-source platform that combines WireGuard VPN with zero-trust network access. It creates a secure overlay network between your devices, servers, and cloud resources. Features include peer-to-peer connectivity, access control policies, SSO integration, and a management dashboard.
