netbird VS WireGuardMeshes

The best way to securely connect your functions to your other resources is with an encrypted mesh network like NetBird. NetBird lets you link your infrastructure together using a zero-config private WireGuard network that works across cloud, serverless, and on-premise infrastructure.

NetBird - NetBird is an open-source VPN management platform built on top of WireGuard® making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.

NetBird simplifies Kubernetes access with its zero-configuration approach, leveraging WireGuard's simplicity and strength. It seamlessly integrates with various tools, offering transparency and high reliability as an open source solution.

NetBird is a configuration-free, peer-to-peer private network combined with a centralized access control system. Utilizing a WireGuard-based overlay network, it ensures encrypted connections between machines without the need for complex configurations such as port openings, intricate firewall rules, or VPN gateways. Prioritizes security with intuitive management of granular access policies for secure remote access, applicable universally across any infrastructure. petr205 explains, "Their SaaS version is free up to 100 machines and 5 users, but the self-hosted version is exactly the same and has very low requirements."

It is always great to see another solution using Wireguard, which is a great technology for modern private connectivity.

I built https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird, which can be self-hosted and offers an option to run Wireguard without managing firewalls for P2P connectivity.

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.
