Introduction to NetBird
NetBird is an Open-Source Zero Trust Networking platform that allows you to create secure private networks for your organization or home. We designed NetBird to be simple and fast, requiring near-zero configuration effort and leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, etc.
NetBird is an open-source project and can be self-hosted. See a comparison between the self-hosted and cloud-hosted versions here.
There is no centralized VPN server with NetBird - your computers, devices, machines, and servers connect to each other directly over a fast encrypted tunnel. It creates a high-performance point-to-point WireGuard® overlay network that connects machines running anywhere in just a few clicks.
It literally takes less than 5 minutes to deploy a secure point-to-point VPN with NetBird.
