Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Timo, founder of merkaio. We run managed infrastructure for businesses worldwide. Here's the problem we kept seeing: NetBird is an incredible open-source WireGuard mesh VPN. But running it in production means managing servers, updates, monitoring, certificates, backups. Every client we onboarded was the same story - great software, painful ops. So we built birdhost. Sign up at portal.merkaio.com, pick your region, hit deploy - your own dedicated NetBird instance is live in under 5 minutes. Fully managed. Why not just use Tailscale? → Tailscale charges per user. 50 users on Tailscale Business = $900/month. 50 users on birdhost = €34.90/month. No per-user fees - your bill doesn't grow with your headcount. → Tailscale is shared cloud with a proprietary control plane. birdhost gives you your own dedicated instance - your data, your infrastructure. → NetBird is 100% open source. No vendor lock-in. You can always take your config and self-host (and we provide everything to you if you decide to do so) What you get: - Dedicated NetBird instance (not multi-tenant) - 8 regions worldwide, ISO 27001 & SOC 2 Type II certified data centers - SSO, access policies, posture checks, reverse proxy with L4 support - 24/7 monitoring, automatic updates, security patches - 7-day free trial We're not affiliated with NetBird - we're an independent managed hosting provider. All credit for the incredible open-source software goes to the NetBird team (https://netbird.io/). 🙏 Would love your feedback - what would make you switch from your current VPN?
