subnet is a simple VPN client and server project designed to make private networking more approachable. It focuses on creating an auditable VPN implementation rather than a large enterprise networking platform. The project provides both server and client behavior, allowing users to connect machines through a managed private network path. Its README notes that the project works, but also warns that it has not received thorough review and may hit performance limits above roughly 100 Mbps. Because of that, it is better understood as an educational or experimental VPN project than a first choice for production infrastructure. Its value comes from its readable design, minimalism, and focus on helping users understand VPN behavior without excessive complexity.
