netbird VS rathole

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.

rathole?

There is also this: https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole

I always struggle with the iptables rules that are needed for that. I recently stumbled on Rathole, which seems to take care of that for this specific usecase, but haven't tried yet. https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole

Rathole is also a simple lightweight solution if you're open to alternatives to haproxy.

Very minimalist, but rathole would work if you have a public facing VPS as well => https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole

If you want to expose a local port on the vps you can use rathole.
