EdgeVPN is a statically compiled, decentralized p2p VPN built on libp2p that creates private networks joined via shared tokens, with no central server. It also provides a reverse proxy for exposing TCP services, p2p file transfer, an embedded DNS server, and a Go library for embedding distributed p2p ledgers.

Use cases

  • create a vpn without a central server
  • connect machines behind nat with hole punching
  • expose a local tcp service like ngrok
  • send files securely between peers
  • build a decentralized kubernetes cluster network
  • embed p2p networking in a go application

When to choose

  • you need a serverless, decentralized vpn with automatic peer discovery
  • you want to share services or files over p2p without a vpn tunnel
  • you need a go library for p2p networking or a distributed ledger
  • you want decentralized IP assignment and DNS for a mesh network

When to avoid

  • you need a traditional managed vpn with centralized access control
  • you require strict trusted-zone enforcement, since token holders can still join
  • you need high-throughput enterprise vpn performance
  • you want a polished commercial product with support
