WireGuardMeshes VS Netmaker

Is anyone using Netmaker to manage multiple networks? We have been using ztncui to manage multiple Zerotier networks, occasionally we have trouble with locked down routers, so we are looking at alernatives. For the uninitiated, here are a few comparison charts: https://github.com/HarvsG/WireGuardMeshes https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker https://github.com/cedrickchee/awesome-wireguard

You're looking to automatically set up a Wireguard mesh. Luck would have it that there's a great overview of solutions for this. I personally use innernet, but something like Tailscale or Netmaker may be more user-friendly.

How do they manage their mesh?

I've just been doing research on setting up my own wireguard mesh (currently using a spoke/hub setup with pi-hole/pivpn).

I found https://github.com/HarvsG/WireGuardMeshes today which is awesome, but I'm curious what fly.io / other readers here may be using.

Netmaker - Layer 3 peer-to-peer overlay network and private DNS. Similar to Tailscale, but with a self-hosted server/admin UI. Runs kernel WireGuard so very fast. Not FOSS, but the source code is available. Written in Go.

My plan is to set up an EC2 instance and host a VPN, considering options like Netmaker, OpenVPN, or Tailscale. The goal is to connect these devices to the VPN, enabling SSH access from any connected node. This method seems cost-effective(Considering I want to use 100s of devices and potentially 1000s) and straightforward, requiring a simple setup with a sudo apt command on the Raspberry Pi.

I'm wondering if there are any alternative approaches to achieve this. Is something like Netmaker or Tailscale feasible enough? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Honorable mention:

SuperHighway84 - more of a Usenet-inspired darknet, but I love the concept + the author's personal website:

Exciting news to share! Netmaker has officially embraced open source. This momentous decision was unveiled at the Open Source Summit in Europe when the pull request successfully merged, transitioning their server from the SSPL to the widely recognized Apache License 2.0.

While we've encountered some challenges and worked with vendors like Cisco to find solutions, I'm curious about recommendations for SD-WAN providers that are well-suited for SASE users. This includes not only Zscaler but also other options like Netmaker, Palo Alto, Cloudflare, Cisco, and Forcepoint.

Now, my main question is how I can link my DDNS host endpoint with my EC2 instances, allowing only my home network to access them. I've come across a variety of suggestions, such as Netmaker, OpenVPN, Tailscale etc. but I'm curious to hear your opinions on these solutions.

HN is somehow always timely. Currently, these folks expect me to sign a CLA for a one-byte change to their README: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/pull/2516
