Netmaker VS wireguard-vyatta-ubnt

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

Joining serverless environments like AWS Lambda to a mesh network has traditionally been difficult because you can't directly access the network interfaces on the hosts that run your functions. The NetBird netstack mode addresses this by providing a simulated TUN device and a SOCKS5 proxy that targets that device. This allows your Lambda function to access other services in your NetBird network via the proxy.

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.

As for remote access, you will need another computer to install tailscale or wireguard vpn to access your local devices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkKz7Vza1rw and the official docs for up to date advice https://www.wireguard.com/ this doesn't require much to run, you can use any old family computer or some old quad core 2nd-4th gen intel desktop for 30 bucks off facebook marketplace. You can also use that same computer to run klipper if you install proxmox and have two separate linux virtual machines.

Um modo mais avançado de se proteger é utilizando protocolos de VPN mais modernos, como o WireGuard. Muitos provedores de VPN oferecem suporte a este protocolo, que além de muito simples de usar e além do mais é open source.

here u find out how wireguard works https://www.wireguard.com/

WireGuard is a VPN protocol developed several years ago which is exremely fast, lightweight, and uses state-of-the art cryptography. Its performance blows legacy VPN's out of the water.

Try vanilla. It solved all my problems bar none.
