NetBird is an open-source solution that builds a WireGuard®-based overlay network enabling seamless, encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity without the complexity of firewall rules, port forwarding, or centralized VPN gateways. It integrates access control features such as SSO and MFA for secure, policy-driven networking. Every machine in the network runs NetBird Agent (or Client) that manages WireGuard. Every agent connects to Management Service that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers). NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in pion/ice library to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines.
Features
- Automatic peer-to-peer mesh network over encrypted WireGuard tunnels
- No need for manual port forwarding or complex firewall setup
- Centralized access control with single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Zero Trust Network Access model for secure resource segmentation
- Platform-agnostic client and intuitive network management
- Optional management dashboard for peer status, access policy, and setup key handling
