RadVPN is a decentralized, full-mesh VPN written in Go that connects nodes directly without a central server, with a built-in router for packet forwarding. It supports symmetric encryption (GCM/CBC), YAML or etcd-based configuration, and runs on Linux.

Use cases

• set up a decentralized mesh vpn between servers
• connect remote nodes without a central vpn server
• create encrypted private networks across cloud vms
• route traffic between nodes in a full mesh topology
• manage vpn node configuration centrally with etcd
• build a self-hosted alternative to commercial vpns

When to choose

• you need a serverless, decentralized mesh vpn on Linux
• you want simple YAML or etcd-driven configuration
• you prefer a lightweight Go binary or Docker deployment

When to avoid

• you need Windows, macOS, or mobile support
• you require mature, actively maintained software
• you need advanced VPN features like identity-based access control or GUI management
