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 Using a traditional, network-centric VPN for remote access is not only outdated and difficult to maintain, but exposes businesses to security breaches.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.

Pangolin
Pangolin
Pangolin is an open source, identity-aware tunneled reverse-proxy platform that lets you securely expose applications from any location without opening inbound ports or requiring a traditional VPN. It uses a distributed architecture of globally available nodes to route traffic through encrypted WireGuard tunnels, enabling devices behind NATs or firewalls to serve applications publicly via a central dashboard. Through the unified dashboard, you can manage sites and resources across your infrastructure, define granular access-control rules (such as SSO, OIDC, PINs, geolocation, and IP restrictions), and monitor real-time health and usage metrics. The system supports self-hosting (Community or Enterprise editions) or a managed cloud option, and works by installing a lightweight agent on each site while using the central control server to handle ingress, routing, authentication, and failover.
