Audience
Anyone looking for a modern VPN alternative that makes their devices, servers, and applications securely accessible from anywhere in the world, without the complexity of traditional VPNs. Also meant for MSP's.
About NetBird
NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Networking platform built by engineers for engineers.
It radically simplifies deploying secure private networks using the high-performance WireGuard® protocol. Unlike traditional VPNs, NetBird creates decentralized, low-latency, high-throughput private networks with a single management console for identity-based access control.
Integrating seamlessly with your IdP for SSO and MFA, it forms direct, encrypted peer-to-peer tunnels between devices, servers, and clouds - no central bottlenecks or single points of failure. Lightweight clients ensure scalability and privacy, with traffic never passing through management services.
NetBird supports integrations with CrowdStrike, Intune, SentinelOne, pfSense, and more. Ideal for Zero Trust remote access, multi-cloud connectivity, dynamic posture checks, detailed auditing, and MSP multi-tenant management - all through one intuitive platform.

Twingate
The way we work has changed. People now work from anywhere, not just from an office. Applications are based in the cloud, not just on-premise. And the company network perimeter is now spread across the internet. Using a traditional, network-centric VPN for remote access is not only outdated and difficult to maintain, but exposes businesses to security breaches. VPN infrastructure is costly and time-consuming to procure, deploy, and maintain. Inability to secure access at the app level means hacks can expose whole networks. Twingate enables organizations to rapidly implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than VPNs. Delivered as a cloud-based service, Twingate empowers IT teams to easily configure a software-defined perimeter without changing infrastructure, and centrally manage user access to internal apps, whether they are on-prem or in the cloud.

Headscale
Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the control server used by the Tailscale network, enabling users to keep full ownership of their private tailnets while using Tailscale clients. It supports registering users and nodes, issuing pre-authentication keys, advertising subnet-routes and exit-node capabilities, enforcing access-control lists, and integrating with OIDC/SAML identity providers for user authentication. The server is deployable via Debian/Ubuntu packages or standalone binaries, configurable through a YAML file, and managed via its CLI or REST API. Headscale tracks each node, route, and user in its database, supports route approval workflows, and enables features such as subnet routing, exit node designation, and node-to-node mesh within the tailnet. Being self-hosted, it gives organizations and hobbyists full control over their private network endpoints, encryption keys, and traffic flows, rather than depending on a commercial control plane.
