NetBird

The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 29.1K stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 11, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Networking changes can lock you out of your own server, so keep a fallback access path while you configure. Read the project's reverse-proxy and certificate notes carefully, open only the ports required, and test from outside your home network before relying on it.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, NetBird is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
