If you've worked much in networking, you've probably heard of WireGuard®. If not, allow me to introduce it.
WireGuard is a VPN protocol developed several years ago which is exremely fast, lightweight, and uses state-of-the art cryptography. Its performance blows legacy VPN's out of the water.
A lot of people stumble upon WireGuard when they're looking to:
a) Build their own VPN
b) Set up remote access
c) Build a site-to-site network
The thing is, WireGuard can also be a little complicated to manage at scale. When you set up your network, you may find packets aren't going through, and you don't know why.
It gets more complicated the more you have to do. Route traffic to a private network? Set up roaming? Get around a NAT or Firewall? Your number of open tabs starts to increase exponentially.
Enter Netmaker.
Netmaker is a VPN platform built on WireGuard®, that lets you create any sort of network you might be looking to set up. Remote access? Sure thing. Inter-VPC overlay network? No problem.
Netmaker manages the hard parts of setting up a WireGuard network, including peer discovery, routing, key distribution, endpoint changes, and more.
Netmaker is easy to get started with. You can sign up here for free, or, if you're into self-hosting, check out the GitHub.
Then you're off to the races. Here's a tutorial to help get you started.
