NetBird is an open‑source zero‑trust networking platform that creates a WireGuard‑based overlay network for secure private connectivity. It provides centralized access control, SSO, MFA and granular policies for both self‑hosted and cloud deployments.
Use cases
- Replace a legacy VPN with a zero‑trust, peer‑to‑peer network for remote workers.
- Connect devices, servers and VPCs across multiple locations without opening firewall ports.
- Enforce SSO and MFA for network access using existing identity providers.
- Apply granular access policies to limit which users or devices can reach specific resources.
- Deploy a secure overlay network quickly on Linux, Docker or Kubernetes environments.
When to choose
- You need a modern zero‑trust network that works across cloud, on‑prem and edge devices.
- You prefer a self‑hosted solution with full control over data and infrastructure.
- Your organization uses SSO/MFA and wants to extend those controls to network access.
- You want to avoid complex VPN gateway setups and manual firewall rules.
When to avoid
- You require a high‑throughput, hardware‑accelerated VPN appliance.
- Your environment cannot run Docker/Kubernetes or lacks Linux support.
- You need a solution tightly integrated with proprietary VPN hardware.
