netbird

netbirdio/netbird · ★ 30K

NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust networking platform: it builds a configuration-free peer-to-peer WireGuard overlay network with centralized access control, so you can create secure private networks without open ports, complex firewall rules or VPN gateways.

+10

tailcat

tailscale/tailcat · ★ 8.4K

Tailcat is like netcat but running over Tailscale's encrypted data plane (WireGuard + magicsock + DERP) without needing Tailscale's control plane or a Tailscale account. One side runs a tailcat server and gets a short address; the other side connects to it, and traffic is end-to-end encrypted and NAT-traversed automatically.

+7

pangolin

fosrl/pangolin · ★ 23.1K

Pangolin is an open-source SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform built on WireGuard that unifies a zero-trust VPN, reverse proxy, privileged access management, and an identity-aware AI gateway under one identity and policy model.

+5

Arachnidium

p2r3/Arachnidium · ★ 397

Arachnidium is a self-hosted HTTP(S) optimization and compression proxy powered by mitmproxy, meant to run on a spare computer at home and be reached by your devices through a WireGuard VPN tunnel.
