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
