netbird VS algo

Netmaker (https://www.netmaker.io/) Netbird (https://netbird.io/)

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.

I'd add to that list Netbird, which is the one I ended up using after trying all of the above.

Since we're already presuming you have a functional PFSense box with Wireguard installed and a VPS stood up, now you need to get Algo installed on the VPS. I'm not going to write this part out in detail, but basically you need to follow the procedures here to get Algo installed. However, *before* running ./algo you probably want to edit some of the config.cfg settings. I disabled IPSec (which saves a bunch of package installs and prevents a bunch of failures I saw on some of my VPSs), set my reduce_mtu setting to 80 just to prevent any MTU issues down the line, turned off DNS encryption, and renamed my users to the servers in question (for example: pfsense, vps_server, etc)

Check out the command line args for Auto1111, it talks about a gradio setup that can be accessed remotely. There's a time limit on gradio links though, I think. You could also set up a vpn that will allow you to access your PC remotely, then run A1111 with the --listen command and access it that way. I've done this with an Algo VPN on Azure and a Wireguard client for Windows for Android, but any VPN that lets you access your PC remotely would work.

One way you could try to get around is building your own VPN service, like this: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/README.md

Things I have tried so far: Clear network cache and reset adapters - IDK it fix aprevious problem I had https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/discussions/14504

(I can simply install Algo and get the Wireguard tunnel working, easy peasy... But from there, I can never get Plex port 32400 open... so I'm just trying from scratch now...)

Maybe try running algo vpn (following the road-warrior setup) in a VM instead? It has very light requirements. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/deploy-to-ubuntu.md
