innernet is a self-hosted private network (overlay VPN) system built on WireGuard, with a coordination server and client CLI written in Rust. It manages peers, IP allocation, CIDR-based access control, and NAT holepunching automatically.

Use cases

• set up a private mesh VPN for my team
• self-hosted alternative to Tailscale
• manage WireGuard peers without editing config files
• create CIDR-based network access control
• connect machines behind NAT with holepunching
• build an overlay network across servers and laptops

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source, self-hosted WireGuard overlay network
• you need peer management and automatic IP allocation instead of hand-edited configs
• you want ACLs based on CIDR blocks
• you prefer simple server/client architecture over complex consensus systems

When to avoid

• you need an independently security-audited solution for high-risk environments
• you want a fully managed hosted service with zero infrastructure
• you need features like SSO or identity-provider integration out of the box
• you require Windows or mobile client support
