NetBird is an open-source solution that builds a WireGuard®-based overlay network enabling seamless, encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity without the complexity of firewall rules, port forwarding, or centralized VPN gateways. It integrates access control features such as SSO and MFA for secure, policy-driven networking. Every machine in the network runs NetBird Agent (or Client) that manages WireGuard. Every agent connects to Management Service that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers). NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in pion/ice library to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines.
