Netbird is a new VPN platform that I recently installed and tested in my Homelab. It uses the fast and secure WireGuard protocol to establish point-to-point tunnels between all my devices, including cloud and HomeLab servers, PCs, Macs, and phones. With its zero-trust features and the option to self-host, Netbird offers a flexible and secure solution for connecting and protecting your devices. Join me as I install the self-hosted open-source deployment of Netbird, and I walk through all the important features and give my honest review of this exciting new platform.
