I would love to know the opinions of network enthusiasts on NetBird, Pangolin and whether there are perhaps even better ways to do resource access management, zero trust and so on
@star From Kittens limited view they are a good way to secure selfhosted services behind a central Gateway, but Kittens experience stems from experimenting with stuff for maybe three quarters of a year. So far Kitten only had a reverse Proxy in front of her services, all services behind an SSO and tailscale for stuff, that should only be reachable by VPN. Pangolin and Netbird seem to combine reverse Proxy and VPN. From what Kitten gathered Netbird was similar to Tailscale before and only recently tried to be an all in one Gateway. Pangolin tried this approach from the very start and seems more focused on community than Netbird. There is an Enterprisr version of Pangolin, but you get a Key for free if your revenue is below a threshold or if you don't make any money with it.
One thing to note though: Kitten didn't get around to trying netbird or Pangolin yet and only wants to use any of it for Services and not machines for ssh.
@star Always glad to help, especially when it's also one of kittens special interests Not only that but Kitten wants to set up something like this this year, when she has enough money for a vps, so the knowledge is pretty fresh.
