Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Netmaker

    Netmaker makes networks with WireGuard. Netmaker automates fast, secure, and distributed virtual networks.

  • NetMaker: This VPN solution has been frequently recommended within my professional circle, and I have personal experience using it for my homelab. It's incredibly user-friendly with great integrations. I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully implemented NetMaker in a production environment within their company.

  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

  • Tailscale: While Tailscale is popular among homelab users, I haven't come across anyone who has implemented it at the enterprise level. Some have suggested considering NetMaker as an alternative for business use. If you have experience using Tailscale or can provide insights on NetMaker, I would greatly appreciate your input.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wg-easy

    The easiest way to run WireGuard VPN + Web-based Admin UI.

  • firezone

    Open-source VPN server and egress firewall for Linux built on WireGuard. Firezone is easy to set up (all dependencies are bundled thanks to Chef Omnibus), secure, performant, and self hostable.

  • netbird

    Connect your devices into a single secure private WireGuard®-based mesh network with SSO/MFA and simple access controls.

  • headscale

    An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

  • awl

  • ziti

    The parent project for OpenZiti. Here you will find the executables for a fully zero trust, application embedded, programmable network @OpenZiti

  • OpenZiti is the most sophisticated and simple-to-use ZTNA platform on the planet. Allows you to create micro-segmented ZTNA networks by desktop application, web application, device, containers, API, and servers. All data is distributed dynamically across an overlay mesh network focused on routing performance, self-healing, and latency. It has desktop clients on all operating systems, pre-built SSH consoles, and SDKs in different languages to integrate OpenZiti into any product natively. And best of all, it's Open-Source. Seriously, try it, you'll be mind-blowing...
