Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using NetBird for Kubernetes Access
If you haven't already, sign up for a free NetBird account. After confirming your email, you'll receive a message with instructions on how to install the NetBird agent on your local machine. This agent includes NetBird's CLI, which is used to control it.

Combining WireGuard®-based P2P network with private DNS management
This may be obvious, but this new feature in self-hosted Netbird is also live today on the hosted version of Netbird (which I'm using).

Create and manage your private WireGuard mesh with NetBird and Keycloak
Having an Auth0 dependency, however, wasn't an optimal solution for self-hosted folks. They spoke up, creating a GitHub issue :) So, we decided to rework this part and support any OIDC-compliant solution like Keycloak. And here we are. We've published a step-by-step Keycloak integration guide that can be found here. Check it out!

NetBird: Self-hosted WireGuard Mesh Network with OpenID support
While you can use NetBird as a cloud service, you can also self-host it, and obviously, a dependency on a proprietary Auth0 service wasn't very appealing for self-hosting folks. Some were fine with it. For someone, it was a deal breaker. There were also a few discussions in this channel and on GitHub about integrating with something open-source.

Seamless Access Control for WireGuard-based networks
We did! We even have an issue, where we discuss different options: https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/issues/9

Show HN: NetBird – A P2P Network with WebRTC, WireGuard, SSO, and Zero Trust
https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/blob/main/media/taggi...
We will reduce ports for Management (merge gRPC with HTTP) so it will be just port 443.

List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
Nebula - Peer-to-peer overlay network. Developed and used internally by Slack. Similar to Tailscale but completely open source. Doesn't use WireGuard. Written in Go.

JIT WireGuard
(I am a Nebula maintainer.) We recently merged support for gVisor-based services, although it's very new, and I don't know of much experimentation that's been done with it yet: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/pull/965

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Nebula, originally from Slack[0].
Wireguard rightly gets a lot of attention, but Nebula is a really simple and easy to deploy mesh network that is often overlooked.
It does lack a management GUI and that stuff is very much DIY.

Nebula is Not the Fastest Mesh VPN (But neither are any of the others)
Fair enough about the android mobile client... My use case only involves meshing linux appliances across various networks so we only need the nebula core binaries which are under MIT license

Nebula is an open-source and free-to-use modern C++ game engine
That's not at all confusing with Slack's Nebula. https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

A word of caution about Tailscale
Sounds like a bunch of your pain points are just related to needing an online CA or ICA. But, looking through the Nebula docs I don't know that it supports things like CRL addresses where you could host the CRL, or OCSP responders. Someone got support for an OCSP responder but never submitted a PR with completed code: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/issues/72

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Multi-clock Display, Networking Tools, Digital Forensics & More
Nebula is a scalable, cross-platform overlay networking tool focused on performance, simplicity, and security. This portable tool is equally adapted for linking a small number of computers or scaling to connect tens of thousands. It integrates encryption, security groups, certificates, and tunneling into a powerful, cohesive connectivity solution. Thanks for the recommendation go to jmeador42.

Would we still create Nebula today?
Replying to my own comment as I can no longer edit it:
The folks over at Slack had an interesting discussion regarding the the "battle of the VPNs" article published by Netmaker I sourced in my parent comment:
https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/discussions/911
-
Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
Interesting. I thought recognized the logo, apparently seems to be a commercial support offering of https://github.com/slackhq/nebula and they support the "nebula" iOS app. I had been using for nebula/defined in the past.

Which overlay network?
Nebula: Is super easy to get running. It uses an interesting angle, working on the service and not just the device level. Unfortunately their NAT support seems to be still quite problematic and I am not going to maintain all those forwarded ports manually. There is a PR to support PCP but even if that ever gets applied I am not sure how well that will play with older routers. While it should be battle proven at slack, the community seems to be not that active. It still has the in-house tool that just got released.
