Hi ProductHunt, this is Alex from Netmaker, based in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. 👋 We created Netmaker to automate WireGuard-based networks at scale. With Netmaker, our users are doing everything from simple remote access, to connecting fleets of unmanned aerial drones and cloud-bursting k8s clusters for machine learning. 🏗️ How it works: You define your networks via our UI, and join machines using the netclient, which manages WireGuard connections locally. The server and client work together to determine the best way for peers to reach each other, solving for NATs, firewalls, and port availability. The result is a flexible virtual network that stays in sync whenever changes are made. Key Features: 🕸️ Mesh Networks: Peer-to-peer VPNs that mimics subnets. ➡️ Egress Gateway: Remotely access networks outside the VPN ⬅️ Client Gateway: Hook customized WireGuard configs into the network ↕️ Relay: Set clients as middle-men for traffic 🚦 ACLs: Define which machines can reach each other 🌐 DNS: Private DNS for your network There are other solutions out there with similarities, but we’ve got some key distinctions. First off, Netmaker is super fast ⚡because it uses kernel WireGuard. There are some other WireGuard-based solutions like Tailscale, but they use userspace WireGuard, which is much slower. Second, Netmaker is tailored for infrastructure use cases like the cloud, IoT, and Kubernetes. ☁️ Stuff like OpenVPN was built before the cloud became a go-to deployment strategy. ✅ Finally, Netmaker is fully self-hostable. Our SaaS option makes it easy to get started, but we believe our users should still have the option to fully own their infrastructure if they don’t want 3rd party servers getting involved with their data. 🎉 We’re always looking for ways to do things better. If you have thoughts, we’d love to hear them. We’ve also got a community on Discord you’re welcome to join at any time: https://discord.gg/zRb9Vfhk8A We’re excited to hear your thoughts and feedback about our new platform!

Seems really useful, congrats on the launch! I love tools built around wireguard (as it feels very light weight). Could you share some of the things you learned during development? For example was there something you had to build that proved particularly challenging?
Alex Feiszli
@chris_robinson10 Traversing NAT's and Firewalls is a particularly challenging problem that I don' think many people think much about. For instance, if you use a 5G Router at home, it has a very strict type of NAT that makes it difficult to reach. We had to build all sorts of novel ways for peers to discover each other, and find different paths for reaching each other, to work around these scenarios.
looks like a great product, much required for growing teams.
