What is NetBird?
NetBird is an open-source networking solution based on WireGuard. Devices, servers and sites are joined into a private, encrypted network. They communicate directly where possible, and central control manages identities and access rules. NetBird can be used as a cloud service or self-hosted.
Typical use cases
- Secure remote access for home office and mobile staff.
- Connecting sites without complex routing.
- Targeted access to individual servers or services instead of the whole network.
- Access for external service providers, limited in time and scope.
Benefits and limits
Advantages include fast setup, finer access rules, connection to identity providers with MFA and relief for central gateways. Consider the operating model (cloud or self-hosted), dependence on the control platform and planning of access policies.
