@DanTheMan said in NetBird - WireGuard based VPN:
Because there's a interest for a write up about my experience with Netbird, i shall try to write something about it here in the forum in the upcoming time.
I never did a write up before, so a bit challenging but also fun and exciting to do for me
Looking forward to it, if you like some kind (if!) of feedback, write me

Firezone looked like the most versatile and user-friendly of the bunch when I looked into this:

@DanTheMan thanks for the great writeup. I think it deserves a totally different post of it's own for the sake of keeping comments. So, I have moved it to https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11158/netbird-installation-and-my-experience .

@DanTheMan thanks for your amazing post.
I do not understand a thing. Is there a way to use Netbird on a cloudron app ?

Coming from Zerotier _ I any really digging Netbird - Super easy setup and now have "networks" which we had on Zerotier. Running on their host now, but would love to have our own server on Cloudron. This is much more powerful than the basic wireguard in the VPN app. Please?

@stevespaw Agreed!

OK now is the time - support for multiple OIDC-compatible identity providers simultaneously.
@girish and team - This would be great!
https://netbird.io/knowledge-hub/local-users-simplified-idp
Built-in user management - Create users directly from the Dashboard using the embedded Dex server—no external IdP required. Secure by default with bcrypt-hashed passwords and AES-256-GCM encryption
Simplified deployment - Reduced from 7+ containers down to just 5. No separate database for the IdP, no extra containers to maintain. The quickstart script handles everything automatically—from container deployment to reverse proxy configuration
Interactive setup wizard - When you first access the Dashboard, a setup wizard guides you through creating your admin account. That's it—you're done
Easy external IdP integration - Connect multiple SSO providers simultaneously (Google, Microsoft, Okta, Keycloak, etc.) directly from the Dashboard. No config files to edit, no service restarts. Optional JWT group sync automatically provisions groups from your IdP -
