About

NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Networking platform built by engineers for engineers. It radically simplifies deploying secure private networks using the high-performance WireGuard® protocol. Unlike traditional VPNs, NetBird creates decentralized, low-latency, high-throughput private networks with a single management console for identity-based access control. Integrating seamlessly with your IdP for SSO and MFA, it forms direct, encrypted peer-to-peer tunnels between devices, servers, and clouds - no central bottlenecks or single points of failure. Lightweight clients ensure scalability and privacy, with traffic never passing through management services. NetBird supports integrations with CrowdStrike, Intune, SentinelOne, pfSense, and more. Ideal for Zero Trust remote access, multi-cloud connectivity, dynamic posture checks, detailed auditing, and MSP multi-tenant management - all through one intuitive platform.

About

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and business VPN solution that gives organizations full control over their own secure network. It's software organizations deploy directly into their own environment — on-premises hardware or their own cloud account on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or others — with tunnel traffic flowing directly between users and the server. With Access Server Link, teams can go from zero to a fully configured deployment in minutes: point-and-click setup across AWS, Azure, and GCP, automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal, and a web-based admin portal for managing users, certificates, and access — no SSH or manual DNS work required. Access is granted per application and per identity using domain names rather than broad network-level access, so users only reach what they're explicitly permitted to, and lateral movement is structurally blocked.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Open Source. lots of customization options. Create your own VPN profile using free networks available on sites such as vpnbook. Also available as a service - pay as you go model. Cross Platform.
  • The software made the process of setting up a Virtual Private Network so much easier. It has a lot of configuration options available including the use of DNS servers, user permissions and more. OpenVPN has support that will help with any issues needed.

Cons

  • Initial setup is difficult - creating profiles, installing certificate (at least on windows).
  • It still requires a fair bit of work to actually set up the Virtual Private Network.
