Networking for Multi-platform
Networking tools that run on Multi-platform. The Catch for each, not a winner list.
2 tools · the Catch, not a ranking
- HeadscaleBSD-3 self-hosted Tailscale control server
Control server only — not a userspace WireGuard client replacement. Not associated with Tailscale Inc as a product. You operate DERP/coordination yourself; MagicDNS/feature parity lags Tailscale SaaS at the edges.
- NetBirdWireGuard mesh ZTNA; Cloud free 5 users/100 machines, self-host AGPL plane
Vs Headscale/Tailscale: own clients+plane. LOUD: Cloud Team from about 6 EUR/user; self-host HA/SCIM/device-approval need Commercial Starter or Enterprise. Dual license on control plane.
